I think what's bothering most people is how the deaths are seen as being senseless. Like how if they're a soldier or a policeman or something like that, then they're giving their life for a cause (and it was taken as a known risk) versus getting shot in the back of the head while reading a book in the library.

Most amazing jew boots

I guess it comes down to level of surprise at what happened. You don't expect a southeast Asian kid to go into a large college in the US and mow down a bunch of his classmates, but you kinda expect gang members in east-LA to get killed pretty often.

Also, news in the US seems to just get a lot of attention. After we had all of those cave-ins trapping coal miners last year I remember seeing a thing about how there were some collapses in eastern Europe, yet nobody cared. Not sure if this is because people expect it to happen over there, or if there's just a fixation on disasters in the US.

Perhaps it's the same reason that news about celebrities getting in trouble is so popular. They're just not the people you'd expect for these things to happen to.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
