     @AmbularD Seriously. Many of the victims of Mango Mussolini's stochastic terrorism are not so lucky as to be around to mug for the camera and talk sh**.

     No.

     The article asks "What is the correct response..?"

     My answer to that is: You establish that Whatshisname is indeed okay. Reiterate that political violence is not acceptable. Learn what you can about the shooter. Take a short breather.

     And then you carry on as before, perhaps with a bit more care about which metaphors you choose to employ, because the facts on the ground have not changed.
