I really cannot speak to how much coverage there was of this event, I was definitely AWARE it happened, via at least NPR, and some other radio source, but hadnt heard the guys name (not sure if that's a new strategy/tactic they're using, it was discussed a bit after the colorado thing) until today.
But I wonder if we're actually managing to get 'crazy person shoots people' weariness. Like..."yeah, whatever, all he did was shoot a security guard in the arm. The OTHER guys managed to KILL multiple people, in a more spectacular way, in a theater, in a place of worship, places someone might expect more safety than in a politically 'hot' locale such as this."
Are we, as a population reflected by our media, getting desensitized to this? Think about it, since columbine really brought it front and center, it feels like we see this shit all the time now, punctuated by three incidents in what, 5-6 weeks? If they're not going to make a spectacular splash to outdo those who've killed before, I guess we have a hard time getting as excited about it.
Well, that or the media is totally liberally biased, and a pawn of the LBGT community.
