This type of indignant behavior is unacceptable. We allow incidents like this to carry on because we choose to ignore it and say it is only the select few crazies with nothing to lose. Even if this is so, the punishment needs to fit the crime.
We all hear about these people protesting their racist and horrible propaganda throughout the year, and we do not condemn them, for reasons like free speech. Cross Burnings are not free speech. No matter how these gun-toting yahoos play it.
These people are villains of decency and humanity and do not deserve the comfort of western society. One of our countries great value is diversity and multiculturalism and we let people who call themselves our friends and neighbors destroy this great value.
Anyone who commits crimes like cross-burnings deserve the medieval treatments they wish to condemn others too. This is our world, our country. It is up to us as a society, as well as our government to deal with people who choose to deal in hate appropriately.
Unfortunately, people with horrible beliefs rarely change their mind, but to any who believe that Canada is more then what these cross-burners would allow. I call to you to help the change towards an accepting society.
