I think this action is so far beyond what anyone can imagine as acceptable that no journalistic account can explain it. It takes a novel or opera to give us any idea of who the people are who did this action. Maybe it is just me, but any understanding I have of how people do horrible things comes from artistic works rather than straightforward reporting.

"Maybe it is just me, but any understanding I have of how people do horrible things comes from artistic works rather than straightforward reporting." Just one example. There was excellent reporting on the Malaysian plane crash in eastern Ukraine by regular journalists and freelancers, including from the crash scene on YouTube. I understand your point, when the situation is more complicated than the war in Ukraine, but you are still making a sweeping statement. For the record, I am strongly against the protest at the Met over Klinghoffer.
