Someone died because of the Day of Rage. Apologies for my error. But go on, make sure we all know he was a great Catholic. Cause you know, if he'd been Jewish, there would be plenty on the platform making justifications for it.

I only mentioned his familiy's faith because you mentioned it. This murder is front page news and talked at length by medias, but your comment is the first time I heard of his supposed faith, so I went and checked.

It would be interesting to understand the motivation. This might be an attack on the school as an institution, which affects people of all faith.

There's no justification for killing innocent civilians, Jewish or not.
