Sure they got coverage.. plenty of it. That doesn't mean that if this same scenario took place in an inner city school it would get the same coverage. Natural disasters are quite a bit different than some loser who decides to shoot some kids.

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.

I'd bet money that you'd see very little of it. Hell we don't see much about the ghetto shootings that happen?? Why?? It happens everyday right? So we're used to it.. it's normal by now.

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.

Look I don't really care about people dying. I don't care that it happened. All I'm trying to say is that if you want to call something a tragedy, then perhaps you (you being everyone) should really look at the tragedies that are rampant in the country and the world. Don't call one "random" act of shooting a tragedy, yet simply pretend and become numb to all the shootings that occur every fucking day.
