Reporter/camera man murdered.

This will sound callous but when this happens I find it hard to care anymore. The US knows what the problem is, they simply refuse to solve this problem. A large section of the American population seem to have decided that these incidents are a perfectly acceptable price to pay for keeping guns.

I care when I'm confronted with the victims, with their unfinished lives and what they have left behind. That hardly happens in these shootings. The media focusses on the shooter and the victims become numbers. It's hard to identify with numbers or to care about numbers.

More recently this happened with the black church massacre and I'm even hard pressed to remember the town where it happened. You got to know next to nothing about the people being killed. Focus on the shooter, his background and his picture with the racist stickers all over his clothing and his car.
