Chelsea Clinton is an exceptionally wonderful woman with a Jewish American family. She does not deserve to be harassed and openly blamed for a mass shooting.
The killing at Christchurch, New Zealand was a horrible act of violence against a community of people. It was carried out because the gunman hated other people. Specifically, he hated Muslims.
His manifesto, while interesting for many reasons, was a conglomerate of ideas that simply make no sense. His act was an act of power, not because he lacked power. He had plenty of power in the weapons that were readily available to him. He carried out the killings because he felt empowered by a rise in hate speech that benefited his ideas and reached halfway around the globe. Those responsible for the hate speech know who they are.
HE DID NOT ACT AGAINST WORDS CRITICIZING ANTI-SEMITISM. HE ACTED. LIKE MOST OTHER MASS KILLERS, BECAUSE HE EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH IT AND INSPIRE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.
Chelsea Clinton should be proud of her work and the strong stand she takes against anti-semitism. Those young people involved in this exhibit of hate against a completely innocent woman need to apologize and mean it.

"This right here is the result of a massacre stoked by people like you and the words that you put out into the world," one student said in the video. "I want you to know that and I want you to feel that deep inside. The 49 people died because of the rhetoric you put out there."
Other students who circled around started snapping in support, a show of solidarity instead of clapping....
