Pretty much agree with all of what the mayor said except for what boils down to "let's not give them what they want and let's fight hate with love and hugs instead."

Imagine saying that to the Allies when the Axis came marching in.
Imagine saying that to a victim of violent bullying.
Imagine saying that to this murdered woman—Renee Nicole Good.

Sure, don't fight fire with fire because hate clouds rational thinking. But at least fight fire with something analogous to the ±300 PSI water hoses that firefighters use. Sabotage these limp dick lunatics.
