Just want to say in a public place that I'm sad and so sorry to hear about the attack in France.
That's cos ur american and you "heard it on the news".
Maybe you should check out how many people die of unnatural deaths in your own country and post back here every time it exceeds 200 per day

Yes, I did. I can still feel sad. France is a small country. Sure, it's powerful, but the USA is much more populous. Even so, if something this bad happened here, I'm sure it would be just as shocking. In fact, we've had a lot of mentally unstable people mass murdering here this past month as well. This is akin to a plane going down, in numbers of dead and wounded. My eldest also went to school there, and I cringe to think students, young people died. It's a terrible tragedy. And it must be gut wrenching to family. It's gut wrenching to me, but I'm compartmentalizing it as I have a bad tendency to get too emotional.
My comment was in fact heart felt. It could happen to any of us anytime. There is not much you can do against a lone or small group of psychologically messed up people.
