There are a lot of murders of adults and children that I wouldn't classify as tragic accidents. They're just not on the news.
I don't disagree with you and I don't feel it makes Sandy Hook less important, but if there was so much outcry over a lot of cases that aren't important enough to get on the news, cases like drive bys where oh hey, it's that neighborhood, not unusual, maybe we would actually get things done.
A kid being killed with many others in one day in a nice area is more important than a kid being smothered to death or being the victim of gun violence on their own. Maybe people would be disturbed but they'd never know. The media doesn't care about kids in broke families in bad areas where that kind of stuff "just happens". A shooting that hits kids in the ghetto? "Tell me something I don't know" is the press attitude.
And it's not important enough for people to look into on their own. Children die grim deaths here everyday. Who notices? No one. They're not important.
Is it normal I didn't mourn for Sandy Hook?
