ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[Blindgreed1]

Yeah, so you're just talking about people showing less interest or losing interest more quickly these days in regards to news coverage (and/or events).

I understand that you think that equates to desensitization. That's probably true in some cases.

What I didn't understand is how that is "part of the problem" when it comes to mass murders, as you originally posted. If anything, I'd imagine it would make for fewer mass murders if one believes that attention/fame is what the killers are after.

Anyway, thanks for responding Gunnar. I understand what you're saying about desensitization effecting the public's response to mass murder (not that desensitization is a problem which contributes to mass murder).

I believe it does correlate HoTD. If people weren't looking for the next coolest/controversial thing to post in their FB feeds I don't think we'd see this phenomenon to the extent that we are seeing today.
