@samsmith1971 greetings, it's true that my use of the word 'censorship' was drastic. You're right, the post was never actually censored. What caught my attention, though, was that the story is non-fiction, so it has to recount the events and can't avoid touching on that part. I understand the community guidelines, but this was a real story meant to share an incident, not to promote violence.

In a fictional story, it's understood that you don't include such events, but in a real story, it's possible to avoid recounting that particular event.

I apologize for not using the word 'censor' correctly. And as always, I'm grateful for the comments left on each of our stories.
