Chris Stevens did something heroic and risky and died for that. Hillary Clinton could not micromanage his movements, and few people saw post-Qaddafi Libya as a hotbed for terrorists. About everyone thought that that Libya had suddenly become the most pro-American country in the Middle East with the possible exception of Israel.
Few saw the political vacuum forming so quickly as it did, and few saw ISIS and al-Qaeda getting in so fast. Yes, I could understand the mass dissent about a low-quality movie insulting the prophet Muhammad. I saw the trailer, and I saw close to an equivalent of Jew-bashing cinema in the Devil's Reich. I'd guess that the late Chris Stevens saw The Innocence of the Muslims much as I did and may have had some sympathy with the legitimate protest of the vile flick.
Terrorists exploited a legitimate protest to kill some Americans. That is the crime.
