I suddenly have a sickening feeling that people wouldn't care as much if the victims weren't kindergarteners D:

I dunno, it's not like first graders were shot back then at the Virginia Tech Massacre. That caused quite a stirr too.

I'm a bit confused. Are you trying to agree or disagree with Yuna?

? I'm not sure how my statement was unclear but I'm disagreeing. There's a big difference about "not caring as much" and "more tragic". People would care in either situation, but this situation strikes to the core because it was fucking KIDS.

Rather than that people care less if they aren't, it's that they care more because they are.

^ I think you guys are probably bumping into some common phrasing where "care less" means "don't care".

Ahaha, I literally had had argument last night with a friend about this which eventually devolved into me telling people my most traumatic life experience in which I nearly killed myself v_v;
I wonder if the shooter's story was paid any attention at all...
hah, of course not. No one cares enough to look,at both sides

^ I haven't seen much reported about motivations, yet. Apparently he shot his mother, too? She had a gun-collection.
