This is not the way to come to resolution. All it's doing is creating hate and discontent where there was none, and exacerbating the situation where it already existed (in my humble opinion). It's very sad to me, because people are going to be more 'broad brushed' than ever - in all directions. You can't change the past, you can only move forward in honest efforts.
