jianantonicThe thing I hate second-most about violence is that Americans only seem to get mad when it happens to white people.
Violence of all kinds takes lives every day. Paris is shocking because it was a mass attack, but violence kills just as many people in separate instances, every single goddamn day.
This isn't grief policing. You're allowed to be shocked and upset about what happened in Paris, but in a week or two when it's not in the news anymore, please continue to give a shit.
Tangential rant, since I'm already on this point: why are the holidays the season of whatever-they're-supposed-to-be? Do you love your family more because it's December? Or is it just because all that pumpkin spice shit is in season?
