'equate the blowback against Kite with extrajudicial (and mostly racist) murder'

I didn't say anything about race anywhere. way to read between the lines again and attempt to make my original comment look WAY more inflammatory than it actually was.

I was more equating it to large groups of people getting up-in-arms and angry without actually taking a step back and looking at the whole situation.

To say that is a lynch-mob mentality is 100% accurate.



> I didn't say anything about race anywhere

"lynch" is a racially-coded word in 2017. Google "lynch racially coded" and check the first few hits. That's the mine you unintentionally stepped on here.


I forgot I lived in 2017, where _literally_ anything can be taken out of context and made into a race issue.


Which is exactly what you did by comparing the Kite response to lynching.
