Something is rotten on Slashdot

[tangaroa]

A big news story from last night is the two Muslim extremists beheading a charity collector for a veterans' organization in the middle of London while passersby did nothing. In Slashdot's article on the subject, the dominant comments (with one early exception) are those that take offense that anyone could consider the killing a terrorist act (without bothering to quibble over the definition of terrorism, only denying it exists) and those that justify the killing as something the UK deserves. WTF is wrong with these people?

Edit May 24: Related, from The Propagandist: Living in the House of War with morons. Meanwhile on Slashdot, the moderators have trollrated everybody who raised the definition of terrorism to apply it to this case and/or argued against the (all unsupported) claims that the UK is just as evil.
