How am I being condescending?
Also, didn't you start off replying to me by assuming I don't understand the nuance between someone's actions and the totality of who they are?

Has anyone been murdered after they did something messed up?

Okay.

Yeah, I know that, and that's the damn problem.
"Nigger" is a racist term with HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL baggage and the fact that you people think that "Crazy" is comparable at all is ridiculous and insulting.
