Okay, so, it's come up repeatedly. How many mass murder threads, torture thread, brutal slaying threads do we have on here right now. We've fought about our reactions to them (some react wrong, like the jokers, some react right, like me... ha!), and we've fought over the reasons behind them. We've fought over solutions and we've fought over parenting and we've fought over politics surround all of them.
But... is any of it truly proportional? Colpy, perhaps you'll do me the favor of repeating some of your murder stats here. Perhaps we can get a reasoned account of who is personally affected by these cases, who has had to deal with this stuff touching their lives.
I don't care what aspects this conversation takes on... be it to discuss the ways we react, or the solutions we are passionate about. But, I think we're spreading bits of this essential topic over a host of threads right now, and thought it might be nice to have a place to centralize it.
