A soldier was murdered by probably muslim extremists today in Woolwich. I just put a status up on Facebook that I'm sure will get me backlash from a lot of people, but I must speak my mind against all the hate and evil such acts bring out in otherwise good people, it's this that makes me even sadder than the act of violence itself, times like this I really lose all faith in humanity. I've quoteed my post below:

"I'll start by what happened today was a disgusting act of violence and a tragedy and if the live they should be locked up and never see the light of day again.

However I fear our response to such acts more, I see comments like "Torture the bastards" "Bring back the death penalty" "Bomb all the ragheads" and various other foul sentiment I just feel even more sadness for humanity. What makes us better than those who did the slaughter is our empathy, compassion and tolerance for others. Return violence is endless cycle that only leads to more death and suffering for all sides."

While I understand what you're saying I do find that sometimes death penalty is a much better thing cause then we are just paying for someone to sit in jail for the rest of their life while others are struggling to get by every day. This just happened where I live Girl found My thought is it's a slap to the face to person that gets murdered, regardless of who they are or why, and their killer gets to live better then a lot of people around. With no worries of when they get their next meal, a place to sleep, medical attention, even tv and a gym, just to list a few things.

To me it's being "soft" on those that do evil so that's why I find that people like muslim extremists do it. They know not much will happen to them and even if they do die the become basically a martyr for their cause. So it just keeps going around in a cycle like you said. It's that that makes me sad for the human race is that we a not only destructive towards those who are different but our planet at the same time. Hopefully some day the human race can evolve enough to make peace with each other before the planet has suffered to much damage.
