Although it'snot quite the same thing, I'm reminded o one off my very occasional brushes with the big and important. I was recently at a meal with someone "high up" in the world's largest and most profitable ex MP3 player-seller company. A meal where the steak was measured by cost not size. Having a perfe wectly pleasant evening, they were most anxious to discuss the men attempting to burn hotels with children in the lobby and how they were merely being patriotic. I won't bore you with the rest but I've not been invited to work with them since despite the success of the evening otherwise. Strange innit? Nobody speaks up because the rents got to be paid.
While everything you say may well be true on an intellectual level, it's not a basis for burning children alive, or Lucy Whatsherface would have used it to stay out of jail.
As for the rest of your justification, you don't strike me as naive enough to believe that the hotel money would go on something useful instead because that's really not how it works.
If the media reported where the money actually goes instead of vilifying refugees, then this stuff wouldn't happen. Well, apart from the right wing scum who are already Nazis. Though by your argument, they can be excused too, their racism merely a primitive response to immigration. Despite everyone being an immigrant at a some point. All of us.

Possibly. I'm not sure that çhlldren (or adults) being burnt alive was the answer, not least because that would have also resulted in dead children.
