That's a little much, don't you think?

Maybe, if it's a racist comment, or if the interpreter (you) views it as one when it's actually not.

I honestly think that the term "ape" is a weak metaphor in this situation. The perps are not just subhuman in morality, they are subsimian as well. I'm not sure there is a term derogatory enough to express what I feel about the people who committed this crime.

Humanity has been lessened today.
