There is no need to post about that event here. You can rest assured that almost every user will be exposed to it in other sources and has a chance to publish condolences there. "Nobody here is willing to show their support for freedom of speech and democracy" is a fallacy. If you know HN, you can see a lot of discussion of these topics, especially when they clash with technology or if technological aspects are touched. Yes, what happened is horrible. But this does not mean that every site everywhere has to participate in the aftermath. There are many events every day that "should" have public awareness, but I feel we should also have the right and opportunity to stay in focused, filtered sub-communities. HN is about "hacker stuff" foremost, not politics, religion or current affairs.
