This is a very thoughtful and well put together article @jordan.white306. The events that happened were terrible, but you are right. The best way to overcome negative bias and fear is with the facts. Fear and negativity sell newspapers (does anyone still buy newspapers) and views for mainstream media. Fear keeps a population compliant to increased government control and surveliance. One random lunatic can cause a disproportional amount of upset to the population.
Thanks for your persepctive.

Thanks for your comment John, it means a lot.
I initially wrote 'newspapers' but changed it to 'news sites' because I'm not sure anyone reads papers anymore.
You're right, one lunatic can do a lot of harm and that's why optimism never goes astray.
