So two more people are killed by another murderer, and the reaction is not to see it because it's unpleasant, or macabre, or what have you. Sorry - but I think that possibly the video should be required watching for every American. Plus films of the aftermath what happened at Columbine, at Sandy Hook, at Aurora - with every detail shown - at every mass shooting in America, in every family where some member went on a killing spree, and if we still have breath left - of every murder and suicide that take place each day. Play them in the schools, show them continually on TV, and try to hammer home that this is nuts, that we are utterly unique among nations, that too many of our politicians are terrified of the NRA, that things must change dramatically.
Don't avoid films of tragedies. Rub our national face in it. Maybe that would work. Nothing else has.
