Closer to home:
This from Loretta Lynch, US AG, commmenting on the Orlando massacre.
“We stand with you to say that the good in this world far outweighs the evil, that our common humanity transcends our differences, and that
our most effective response to terror and to hatred is compassion, it’s unity, and it’s love,” Lynch said. “We stand with you today as we grieve together, and long after the cameras are gone, we will continue to stand with you as we grow together in commitment, in solidarity, and in equality.”

If not, there comes a time when the sword is the appropriate response, e.g., Omar Mateen walking in armed and dangerous.
