That is exactly what I said to my mom when she called. She was upset about the shooting- and I said "But mom- its only 25, think how many have been killed in Kosovo" And she said "Yes, but this one.." And I finished her sentence (I do that, I am annoying in person too) and I said "this one is "real" because its American kids". Now I grant you the school shooting is awful- but its a tiny statistical sample of kids that are killed in mass shootings at schools- Not meaningful if it is YOUR kid- but still- in this age of rapid communication we are hit with every tragedy from everywhere instantaneously- and the media goes on and on and on about them in a way they did not used to.
