(6,673 posts)No, not really.
A shrug of the shoulders, maybe.
Someone getting gunned down on those streets for whatever reason gets a shrug mostly, too many (42 on the same day?) to really get wound up over.
Insanity awaits if you do.
It has brought to the surface of peoples' attention the bad state of health insurance in America, and I applaud that.
As always . . . don't let others tell you how to feel about this one incident.
Too many other shootings where indignant rage was justified and affirmative preventative action should have followed, but . . . crickets!
Will they catch the shooter and will he divulge his reasons? Probably not.
Will he get to a safe place and ring the media and explain? Probably not.
For all we know this may have been a carefully planned shoot-for-thrills, with the target picked at random, being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
