One thing that could go here, or the media thread, is the use of the term Mass Shooting.
When NBC broke in with a live report of a mass shooting at Fort Hood, my mind had a # of dead of 20 like Sandy Hook, but it was 4. I don't mean to belittle those that died in any way.
Still, when you hear terms like mass graves in the holocaust, or other such terms, surely your mind is thinking in large numbers of dead. And I think the media terms them as mass killings to make it more dramatic. Again to use the car fatalities, nearly every day masses of people are killed in automobiles. Why not that term there.
anyway just ranting:(
Not only that, but they somehow managed to find a way to blame the black guy for it all.
