Your political analysis is spot on as usual. Normally Im with you, but Stephen I think your being a bit of an a$$. These communities are small and these murders are hitting close to home. Are their lives more important than the other 1000's that got murdered over the year? No. However the psychological effects of having someone murdered in a community of 50 and a city of millions are worlds apart. 

These people are scared. There is no safety, there is no security, there is no government to help, there is no police, no big brother to help in their plight, there is nothing. You know what happens when people are scared they try to find something, anything to hold on to.

Yes some idiots tried to foster support for their old misguided delusional pre-94 days, and most of the people protesting are not super hard core freedom fighters. They just want to be able to make a living and have a future in the country they call home. 

This is sensitive.
