We see so much of the unusual that at times it appears to be the norm and everyone walks around with fears of things that are remote or views of the world that are slanted. There aren't many Jeffrey Dalmers in the world but everyone saw enough of it to feel like it happened next door. Most people in most universities, including U. C. Berkeley., probably agree that we need to have a strong and punitive response to the terrorists in order to punish and to prevent future acts but many will carry with them a picture of Berkeley students for peace. Most personal injury lawsuits are justly decided by jurors like you and I but we all think of out of control juries when we think of personal injury cases. The reality is far different from the impression we get from a media that highlights the unusual to the point that it begins to seem the norm.
