What happened in Rwanda affected me very much, it just took a movie (Hotel Rwanda) to make me understand what was really happening there.
In this particular case, I think I'd be almost as affected if this identical thing had happened in England or Australia.
It's probably the worst thing I've really tried to comprehend. To me, more so than 9⁄11 and terrorists.
6 and 7 year olds, and their caregivers/teachers, being senselessly and mercilessly slaughtered by someone I'd consider to be a 'throw away' member of society. This person did not and would not have ever offered 1 contribution to society, but he had the power to destroy 26 lives and families.
And I think what really brings out feelings in people, regardless of where in the world they are, is whether or not they're a parent. Particularly if they still have young children.
I also know there have been similar events around the globe. The school incident in Russia, Scotland I believe had an incident in the '90's, etc.
I don't know Crash. When it's little kids who are intentionally slaughtered (especially in a so-called civilized society), the outrage, IMO, should be as high as possible.
