We have managed to get ourselves into quite the predicament it seems. At this point I'm not even sure there is a way out, and even less sure we'd take it if there was. This sort of thing has become normalized to a disturbing degree, with everyone's responses taking on the aspect of a ritual. Hell, it's easy to forget that this isn't the normal for everyone. Watching it all unfold from up close is something else though, like it just registers differently.

I can imagine. We get family murders and plenty of political or mafia-style assassinations here but mass shootings are very uncommon
