Great discussion point.

I'm all for strong reactions. Heated debate, swift actions, deep self reflection. Yes, all welcome. For example, if OP had password protected his site I would applaud.

But my personal views are:

  - strong reactions aren't "justification" to further escalate violence.

  - intentionally using that specific image to inflict harm on people is definitely violence.
So, I'm going to take a moment to advocate for that perspective, Even though I may not sway anyone. After all, silence is acceptance.
