Awful. They do claim he had a slingshot, and was doing more than protesting. Regardless, the whole scene reflects the hatred which continues to prevent peace.

Well said. And who (besides some idiots on this board) could blame a kid for picking up a slingshot after what happened to his cousin.

Shows why the death of the other 3 kids should be kept in perspective.

I wouldn't blame anyone for being angry at that situation. But choices (whether good or bad) have consequences (both good and bad).

If the police came into my home and killed my family for no reason, would anyone be mad at me for driving to the police station to shoot the people who did it? Probably not, but it's fully expected that they will kill me when I do so.

People have freedom of speech (among other things), but not freedom from consequences.
