Wow. Some dumbass in Florida killed people on the other side of the planet by burning a book? That's one a hell of a trick.

That is like telling some dumbass to not kick a hornet's nest, but does it anyway.  And then there were consequences.

Not really. Hornets sting because of instinct, so they don't have any choice in the matter. Plus they tend to sting the person who disturbed them. If you burn a book I really like, I'm not going to kill some random person in response. And if I did, it certainly wouldn't be your fault.

In this case if they tell you to NOT to knock down a hornet's nest, because it will land in your neighbor's yard, and you do it anyway, to show how evil the hornets are, and your neighbors get hurt, then you display questionable judgment.  Anyhow, my initial point of bringing that up was to show, shoot, maybe the French do have cause.  Might as well keep them out so that guys don't end up harming people in their country because someone with questionable judgment does something.
