MORE PROOF THAT RAGE AND VIOLENCE IS THE SOP OF THE ROP

BBC:
Relatives of hundreds of passengers killed when a ferry sank in the Red Sea on Friday have attacked the offices of the ship's owners. A crowd broke into Al-Salam Maritime's offices in Safaga, Egypt, and began throwing the contents onto the street. Family members also tried to storm a hospital in the town of Hurghada after it displayed photographs of bodies recovered from the sea.
They attacked the office of the ferry company AND A FRIGGIN HOPSITAL!? Sheesh.

Grief is understandable. I feel sorry for them. BUT WHY DID IT TURN VIOLENT? Could it be they have a culture of violence? I think it's a safe bet. After all - according to them - their culture is first and foremost MUSLIM. Maybe there's a connection between this their basic creed and their propensity for rage and violence? Maybe their basic beliefs - which exalt misogyny, xenophobia and genocide (and permits "honor-killing" and rape-as-punishment) - gives them a diathesis for all types of dehumanizing violence?
