Many of you have been sharing every second hand account, rumor, and urban legend about some random doofus in Somnambulant, Wisconsin or Bumfight, Louisiana, shouting an ethnic slur or spray painting a swastika on a wall. Newsflash, in a country with a third of a billion people, some percentage of them are going to be assholes. I hate to break it to you, but the assholes were there before, and they will be there forever. Just right now the news has a self-serving incentive to report about these assholes in particular.
But Correia! You’re not a marginalized Mexican transsexual Muslim! What do you know!?
I know that anybody can be “marginalized” if they walk into the wrong neighborhood. Violence can happen to any of us, and it does, all the time. Whether your odds of being a victim are good or bad, it still sucks when you draw the short straw and somebody tries to hurt you. Whoever you are, you are correct to be concerned for your safety. Anybody can be attacked, and everybody should be prepared to deal with it.

I was expecting more of a pamphlet than a novella.

The cliff notes version of things is a large reason why we find our nation in the shape it is in. Not all knowledge comes in handy soundbites and flashy pamphlets.

I don't disagree, but if I'm trying to look through the lens of someone on the left, I'm going to stop after just a few paragraphs. The article doesn't seem to "grab" them long enough to take a few moments from the Facebook rants they probably have going on the other browser windows.
Any journalist is responsible to "hook" his/her reader to finish the article. From my perspective, the author failed.
