I am not a sociopath. I ask myself if I want to save lives or if I want to feel better.

I get that a motivated attacker is a more alarming threat, but that is because we didn't evolve with chemical plants and car accidents.

If you just want to reduce your alarm and comfort you friends. Then focus on dealing with whatever alarms you. But by my standards that's not caring.

'Be appalled by' is cheap and easy. 'react accordingly' is, I'm sorry but that's probably not what you're doing. There are so many people in the world who have demonstrated full intent to kill that if you reacted accordingly you'd become Batman.

If this is just about what we say upsets us as we go about our daily lives, then we can agree to disagree and there's no reason to think worse of each other.
