It's completely bonkers to have retaliation like that against a single attack that isn't part of a pattern.

Like, that context arguably makes it worse than if there was no inciting incident, because it's so blatantly blaming a huge group for one person.

It's like justifying pogroms against Jews because one Jewish person committed a crime. It's racist and utterly disgusting.

Are you implying that small numbers of Muslim criminals justify mob violence against random Muslims on the street?

So is your goal here to see how many times you can make bigoted claims without evidence before someone comments on your very name being "strawman"?
