History is replete with atrocities of one human against another. I find it funny that people are so horrified by this. Historically, people right here in the U.S. have had many horrible people among them.
Ask an ancestor of a Salem, Massachusettes, witch trial victim. Ask the family of a KKK hate crime victim. Hell, ask any of the families of the many, many serial killers and horrific murderers we've had both past and present. Hell, many say that rape can be worse than dying- ask the millions of women that are raped each year right here in our own borders.
This is not an outrage, this is a sad occurrence- but par for the course. This is war- and I don't have to like it to be realistic about its repercussions.

Well put. Spot on.
