actually, I have been wondering if there is a legal case that can be made where those Florida idiots can be either sued for damages or jailed for reckless endangerment

It is sad that people were killed.

Other cultures don't understand that the burning of items, including others' religious texts, is one of our freedoms, and that just because one person or small group does so, they don't represent every other American.

Nevertheless, I think it is morally wrong to burn someone else's holey book. Outrage should be expected- along with retribution- from certain groups.

As to a legal claim for wrongful death or charge for committing a crime for the deaths, I very highly doubt it. Now, if they burn more Korans and people are killed as retribution which would be foreseeable,t hen there **might** be a claim or charge, but I still very highly doubt it.

Yeah, but still, shouldn't a little bit of the blame go to the stupid vicious murdering murderers?

(edit: oops, I tried to post this after #2)

(edit2: and just to be clear, my intent on this thread was about the murderous rampage and not the book burning, actually. Although the subject does draw attention to that.)
