I don't see anyone saying it's not sad, etc, but just discussing the fact that it's being blown up because of the recent mass shootings.

A shooting is bad, but it's not a mass shooting (which.. you know.. is worse).

People die in horrible, violent, stupid, unfair ways every second of every day.

Death, by the numbers, simply isnt a big deal. I know it sounds cold but it's just not.

The loss and heartache on the other hand is a pretty big deal but even that is temporary. The closer you are to a particular instance of death will make it a bigger deal but it's still just death.

Life is pretty brutal by default. Virtually everyone in the US, even those in the worst situations in the US, has it pretty good in the scheme of things. It's unfortunate so many take that for granted.

How many children died in the seconds before and after this one was injured? He's not dead as of this moment by the way.

There's something odd about a complete stranger, maybe thousands of miles away, getting all upset and heartbroken because of one death just because it made the news. If that person were sincere in their compassion they would be on their knees overcome by grief every moment of every day for all the loss and death that occurs.
