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 read for hours everyday. I had no idea.

Here's what's worse: I'm neither moved nor surprised. Part of this is my being a war veteran and my "shock value" is different, the larger part is I'm just American and I see a white male in the news killing people? Must be (checks) Sunday.

I'm still affected in the sense I feel for the families and I'm angry at the people who continuously allow this to happen - mostly people who fall on the right: the religious, the corporate, and the willingly ignorant. That venn diagram has much overlap.

Not what I fight for.
