what a callous and fucked up thing to say. i can fucking guarantee if that was your son/daughter/niece/nephew that was killed yesterday you be singing a different tune. do the world a favor and just stfu you ignorant bitter fuck

Why is it not callous that you don't mourn the children who die every day? Was it your son/daughter/niece/nephew that was killed yesterday? What makes me ignorant or bitter? Is it because I realize that tragedy happens every day and that the wars we manufacture as a nation play a large part in those tragedies?

I am seriously confused. More children died from malnutrition and starvation in Sub-Saharan Africa yesterday. Is it proximity? Is it tribal? Is it race? Is it the suddenness of death? Is it because we think America is safe?

Why are the children who were shot so noteworthy?
