Middle of the country - silent regarding the NAVY Yard Shooting

Yes, they were right about cable news coverage and it was very funny but it seemed like there should have been some acknowledgement of what a dark deed this was. I think maybe people are just getting tired of massacres and don't know how to react.

On the other hand, I wouldn't blame the Midwest. We didn't hear much about the school killings in Chardon, Ohio out here either. In the gun control march following the Newtown massacre, I marched next to parents who had lost their son in that shooting. I don't have any point to make with that - just that I became more aware of the Chardon shootings after talking to someone who had been personally affected by it. No one should have to lose a family member that way.

I appreciate your reaction to the Daily Show bit about CNN. But they also did a segment - "Depressingly Family Post Tragedy Analysis" that makes it clear they're not taking the DC shootings lightly.

Okay thanks for pointing that out. I haven't seen that yet.

Is base security really that lax? I've worked in the IC, and we can't bring phones into the facility, forget a disassembled shotgun.

how does this even happen?

Look at the Kenya Mall massacre by the Muslim extremists. 69 people killed and dead silence. It was reported that anyone they came across who could not recite a passage from the Koran was murdered.

Religion of peace they call it.
