Yes, children all around the world do die every day. They die because they live in war torn nations, they die from hunger, they die from Aids because they were born with the virus.. The list goes on and on, and these are all equally tragic deaths. And, believe it or not, there are plenty of people who
do care.... Many of whom devote their lives to trying to help. Médecins Sans Frontières is an organisation that springs to mind... or Unesco.. to name just two.
However, when a shooting occurs like this in a school it is horrifying because there is a direct will to kill. Those kids don't die by default, or political apathy, because of malnutrition... they die because somebody
decides to kill them. This is very, very different.
