I tried to paint a short, coherent, neutral picture of the affair as not to derail the discussion. You are entitled to your opinions.
edit: also, the murder was silently condoned by a large fraction on the left.

Is that known for a fact?
Implying that someone 'silently condoned' something is very convenient because it's basically impossible to prove or disprove, it's like accusing someone of thoughcrime.
The difference between 'this has popular support' and 'there are a few nutjobs' is kinda key, don't you think? Otherwise you might as well write 'a large section of leftists cut off their own penises"
that sounds like the oppsoite of a neutral picture ...
That is not my impression at all. If there's any sort of "silent condoning" going on then it's very very silent indeed, as I've never encountered it in spite of spending plenty of time in leftist circles. No doubt you can find a few crazy extremists, but they do not get to define "a large fraction on the left".
well you succeeded, here we are talking about your 'neutral' picture
