Gee, sorry. Good thing for freedom of the press.

You're entitled to your opinion

The severity of the crime is independent of who perpetrated it. The group
with the most to gain from this incident is the government, and thus they
should be considered prime suspects. The government has infiltrated
unpopular groups many times before with their own agents (COUNTELPRO, etc.),
and it would be no surprise to learn that these two were egged on by
government plants.
>This kind of action CANNOT BE TOLERATED.
Strawman. No one said it should be tolerated. You just have a fixed view
of who committed it.

The ad hominem attack. I'm touched.
