You are so right about the reaction that we all have. It is becoming such a complacent issue.

Just the simple fact that there are only 6 replies on this thread, takes me aback, and really does show that we are becoming used to such tragedy in our world.

Where do we, as a society, decide what is sensational, and what is not? Peterson has received much more concern and interest than I think this situation has, and it makes no sense to me. Is it all about the shock factor?
I just don't see how that could be more shocking than what happened at NIU and other schools around the US.
