It's so fucked up how the early reaction was to the shootings. From my modern perspective (being aware of the event, but not public opinion), I assumed that it must have been universally viewed as at least a tragedy where the shooters were clearly in the wrong.

People sent her death threats and even celebrated the killings??? Like, what the fuck?
