< Do people become immune to bad news at some point? > Absoultely. It's the same process which affects our children when they are watching mindless violence on television or in the movie theaters. Or when they play violent video games. Repeat it enough times and people become desensitized to the stimulus. This, in no way, mitigates the severity of the act of terrorism or violence but people do become numb. Examples.... Are people living in Los Angeles still shocked by another story of a high school drive-by shooting claiming the life of a young man or woman? Or how about a random shooting on the highway? Another undercover drug bust?
