The cynic in me agrees.
I think this is a performance designed to get clicks. How many did PPOT add to the tally?
The sad thing is people stage these kinds of performances because they know how we love our outrage. They know they can make money exploiting the worst instincts of American society, get people outraged, get them talking, get them pissed off, and they don't hesitate to do it as long as it gets them attention. They know it raises the general level of anxiety, discontent, and ultimately violence in our society, but hey, it's worth it for the money and the attention.
