A relevant comment from "An Elegant Feast":
The media has another sensationalist story about gun violence to push, and they are going to push it, hard. And of course, anytime a child dies, it’s a tragedy. When it occurs with violent, brutal force, it is especially repulsive. But there is something even more disgusting than this. When we only concentrate on the deaths of american children that are murdered by a mentally disturbed individual, we offer silent complicity to the scores of children that the US government murders in cold, rational, calculation. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, the US government has killed 176 children with drone strikes in Pakistan. Where is the outrage for those deaths? I guess when it occurs at the hand of Obama and Clinton, it becomes convenient for the media and the so-called american left to look the other way. The consummate celebrity, Obama had a press conference to show his tears to anyone who could stomach them. If the sight of a crass, unrelenting killer is so upsetting for the president, someone needs to quickly remove every mirror from the white house.
