No, it's not just you. When the action(s) is repeated, there's a de-sensitization to something that's otherwise horrific that naturally occurs. That's when society should self-evaluate and question why we are now used to things like public shootings.
And then act swiftly and aggressively to rectify the situation.
This is exactly what bothers me about -- not just this particular instance -- the entire culture (for lack of a better word) that not only makes this kind of thing possible (easy), but also effectively yawns when it happens.
I don't think I did this here -- I'm pretty sure it was on another forum -- but after those horrific shootings in the church in South Carolina, I actually admonished a bunch of people for shedding "crocodile tears" over something they would only care about peripherally and -- even then -- only until "the next time."
And here it is: The next time.
I'm not particularly proud of acting that way. This kind of thing really does belong to everybody, if we're really living in a "society." But I'm starting to wonder if we really are . . . or if maybe we're all not like that boy in the bubble Paul Simon likes to sing about.
Wow . . . there are a lot of "reallys" in there.
