    Would you still be saying that if some of those bullets had hit his kid?

        Really. The mere existence of data centers makes you feel like your 8-year-old son has been shot.

          While you correctly stated why I find acts such as these dangerous when not done very carefully, you are simplifying things a bit too much. Terry Pratchett correctly countered your argument in Going Postal:

          Moist Von Lipwig: I’m just a con man!
          Mr. Pump: You have killed 22.8 people.
          Moist Von Lipwig: I’ve never so much as drawn a sword.
          Mr. Pump: You have stolen, embezzled, and swindled. You have ruined businesses and destroyed lives. When banks fail, it’s not bankers who starve. In a thousand small ways, you have hastened the deaths of many. You did not know them. You did not see them bleed. But you snatched bread from their mouths. There will be no running.

      I’m from Indiana. Yes, yes I would also say that for their father put them in harms way. This is Trump country and the politicians are less than human.
