So you just want people to shut up about it, that is the whole purpose of your posts here.
’‘Concerning one’s self with social issues, trying to make a difference in the life of a or a battered child is admirable, even noble. Speculating about the motivations of a person who obviously has anger issues; not so much” This is not speculating just for chatting purposes. People can multi task. They do hunger, the environment, war, not defend abuse, all at the same time.

“I read other people discussing it as if it is their business” So, according to you you’re are in other people’s business here in this post instead of leaving people alone to discuss it? You’re contradicting yourself by your action.
”You can’t equate a tattoo on this guy’s neck with the attack on our consulate” I don’t see any equating there and they don’t need to be equal by the way. They are in the same box “News”.
You seem to desperately want people against abuse, to stop posting about it.
