I have to tell myself...

...that everyone I have seen, heard, or read posts from in the past 24 hours is in shock. That people are not responding to this with their full reasoning capacities. That the ugliness I'm seeing in some online exchanges is not people's "true selves" revealed, but their anger and terror being expressed in a rather scattershot fashion.

But some of it scares me, and more of it saddens me.
