Thank you; you have done a good job of steel-manning the OP. I appreciate that.
The way it was written, it doesn't surprise me that people didn't read it that way, and downvoted. It comes against a background of people loudly claiming to be oppressed for ideological reasons and failing to support that claim or acknowledging that a serious act of violence has just occurred by people professing the same ideological reasons. At the very least, I felt it was worth pointing out how it reads, so that they might consider it without requiring others to specifically seek an assumption-of-the-best.
