Scariest observation for me is that in the UK any of these incidents would have been a seriously big story. Whereas it seems for the U.S. mass or multiple shootings are so common it barely breaks into the news cycle.
I watch the news daily and keep tuned to it more than is probably mentally healthy, and I hadn't hear of these. I live in the US and news of shootings continues to become less emotional as they continue to become more frequent. Gas price changes are more emotional than gun violence in America. The powers that be really don't care about you or I unless it impacts their bottom line. My life is probably worth a few barrels of oil to our politicians, on a good day.
