Because surely if you can stand your ground when walking the streets with a rifle, you can make the argument that it’s unreasonable to stand and accept the murder of your child without using lethal force in response.

The old “yes they deserve to die and I hope they burn in Hell” ploy.

Would that do anything but sanctify vengeance and vigilantism? Or does that already basically exist?

Obviously I’m not advocating it, though I am surprised it doesn’t happen more often.
Fairly sure someone will up the stakes in the next year or so, everyone will demand change for a few days and it’ll just be forgotten within a week or two.
Rinse and repeat
