Another CO shooting.

Aurora, not as many people. RIP.

Yes, the body count is only 5, (counting the shooter)...Hardly worth a mention compared to 26...or 12...

I did mention it and specifically. You can find details through the media or here on 285bound as things develop.

Body count matters. 1 vs. 5 vs. 26 vs. 26,000. All feel very different.

Already a chip on your shoulder just because it was mentioned? I was specifically trying not to feel the lions with the first post.

I specifically did not mention it when I first saw it reported, because what's the point? Just a few more deaths in Aurora...Big f'ing deal...

Will pray for the families involved.

This is about 2 miles from me. Not far at all from the fire we covered this summer. So awful.

Thank goodness it was not your family.

That wouldn't matter. Being cold to prove a political point knows no boundaries.

Okay, I guess that was my mistake. This is what I am worried about that shootings are not shocking anymore. Five years ago a shooting like this would have shook up everyone. If it becomes accepted it will just get worse and worse. Society has so much to do with this. And news seems to have no boundaries anymore either. That contributes.

CG I don't know if I agree. Murders continue to decline but I think the press is choosing to give it more coverage. Like when Bush was in office Iraq GI casualties got much more time but they were very small compared to Korea and Vietnam and got no attention when it became Obama's war. A few years ago the rage was about crime in Mexico but it had peaked awhile ago.
