What is truly sad is that this won't wake anyone up. There will be public outcry, and a series of ineffective measures taken to "prevent" something from happening again. The truth is that those measures will have nothing to do with what happened, and will not have any effect in preventing another tragedy.TexDotCom wrote:Of course, there is the obligatory "I can't believe it happened here" comment:

Wake. Up. People. Sad it takes something like this...more so because even this sort of thing doesn't wake some folks up. Anything can happen to anyone, any time and anywhere. There's no "unless it's Norway" exception.
Those who had their eyes closed to reality will go right back to their old ways. It saddens my heart to know the only thing that will wake them is the tragedy being personal.
