British immigrant would have been a better term, did you need a former Brit to die to realize how shi88y a situation it is?

Don't know don't watch MSM (full of BS). I find it ludicrous that it took this to bring the event home....I am saddened by any lose of life, it don't take an American to bring it home. I feel for any child that dies before their time. I am not trying to pic a fight here I just don't understand why it took a Brit to bring it home, children are children no mater where they are from...
Every person experiences it in their own way, based on their own situation. Yes, I can see how knowledge of this young child formerly from his/her neck-of-the-woods would bring it home, so to speak-- make it more real.

For me it changes nothing if in an event like this were to take place somewhere else and one American died....we still lost a little bit of our feature we are all in this together.

Ok, ok I approached this wrong...it should not have taken the lose of a countrymen to hit home imo. The lose of children no matter the place is a tragic event that effects us all, where we see it or not it is a lose of feature. As I said not trying to pis a fight, I just see this as an issue of division. For me it changes nothing if in an event like this were to take place somewhere else and one American died....we still lost a little bit of our feature we are all in this together.
