content: Of course you are correct.  This guy was only comforting his child and in no way making a political or social statement.  What good would it do to terrify that kid?  He is too young to process that level of fear in a meaningful way.  I think the issue some people have though, whether this is true or not, is that they see this as the father believing the words as well.  They are taking this as a metaphor for the West's response in general to attacks like these, where 100+ innocent people are murdered and in response we just cut up freedom and liberty and lay some flowers on top of it all.  I don't see it that way, but I understand why hearing those words after this attack could make people chafe.
