Right, because the victims of Katrina didn't get any news coverage or support.
Just because tragedy takes place in a low-income or inner city area, doesn't make the public care any less about them. (Just GW
) Same concept that took out hours of the medias time, not just a five minute clip.

You can live in the city with the lowest crime rate but that doesn't mean you're safe. So in my eyes, to call this a tragedy, and overlook all the other issues that abound is an even bigger tragedy.

Come on, man. It doesn't matter where you grow up, unexpected things can happen every day. I just I wonder if you would trivialize 9/11 or Katrina or even the soldiers dying Iraq, the way that you do the VT shootings.
