Apologists need to wake up

Weak men often gravitate towards violent men and support them. They find some solace in their own weakness by supporting violent people. Arrigoni got what was coming to him. You cannot look like a sheep and run with the wolves - and not expect to be bitten some time. Appeasing/supporting violent men might give some comfort but it just does not work in the long run.

Take the example of India: They tried appeasing violent and abrasive men for 3 decades. It took them 3 decades to realize that it does not work. Had the policy of appeasment worked, the Bhartiya Janta Party would never have come in to existence.
