When you know about atrocities such as the extermination of the residents of 450+ villages in Guatemala over a 16 month period, it puts school shootings in a very different light than people such as yourself see them.
Grief from losing a child is different from grief over the words of a jackass like Jones, in my opinion. We see this differently. Sorry you're offended, but I'm careful where I invest emotional energy. America is an extremely litigious society that encourages people to be offended. I find that detestable, because it doesn't help people to heal.
Peace.
