Loved this article. I was directed here by a friend from Australia. I am a retired Buddhist monk from America. It is eerie that I was directed to your article after watching the story of Larry King, a 14-year-old gay boy who was murdered in school by the classmate he loved. That classmate planned it, it was without doubt 1st degree murder, and the kid was a white supremacist to boot. There was so much anger at his being tried as an adult, because he was also 14. The whole town (Oxnard, California) with a couple of exceptions supported this little monster. When battling evil, we cannot just absorb hatred or make excuses for it. This was done for the murderer in the case I just described. Let us fight, and fight fairly, with compassion. Sometimes, compassion means life in prison for those who would take our freedom or our lives.
