Yes if it’s about the principle then you’re absolutely right we’re surrendering. But in practice I think this is more like a hostage negotiation. If someone threatens to kill someone because it doesn’t go their way you don’t just ignore them, you try to negotiate with them, comprise and find a solution. I think that’s exactly what the government does here and what anyone should be doing.
Isn’t this just surrendering to terrorism? Isn’t it bad that forms of free speech get banned because others threatens to kill?

So governments should negotiate the demands of terrorists? What?
