Some days I leave work, and my only response to humanity as a whole (or, more specifically, that subset who take advantage of their power and privilege to do violence with impunity) is in line with what Roy here says below:

It doesn’t make the anger go away, or make everything all better… The problem is still there. But I’m no longer alone in it. And neither are the girls…
People are bastards. Men are bastards. But God loves us anyway…
amen. and god bless the IT Crowd!
