    Edit: Oh shit! SORRY! I looked at the little picture on my phone and truly didn’t see the balaclavas until I just opened the article up on a large PC screen now!

    I’ll leave up my mistake (below) as a testament to my poor eyesight.

    TBH I never expected the perps to be black. It will quite interesting to unpack their motives and put it into some historical perspective regarding purposeful, inadvertent or ignorant destruction by European colonial invaders in, uh… everywhere else in the world.

      Wanna know how I know you only glanced at the picture?

        My little phone didn’t have the pixels to show the picture properly.

        I’ve owned up to my mistake above.

        And yes now that I look closer I can see their hands. Oops.

            And you shall know me by the trail of monuments to my own incompetence that I leave in my wake…

            Now as to my ‘argument’; it wasn’t a justification, it was more a point of relativism and curiosity.
