Aurora's no Columbine, Sanford no Selma

Aurora's no Columbine, Sanford no Selma
Like many Americans, I was at a loss for words when I first heard the news out of Aurora, Colorado last week.  The news that the opening-night excitement of one of this year's blockbuster films had been trumped by an actual tragedy of epic proportions was (and remains) truly disturbing.
We've seen what's sadly become a bit of a routine when things like this occur:  interviews with the (alleged) killer's friends and neighbors that can't imagine him doing anything of the sort, school teachers that recall the (alleged) killer as being "a bit odd, but nothing scary", and the inevitable comparisons between this current event and others.
But Aurora's no Columbine, Sanford no Selma- and we do little more than kid or distract ourselves if we always look to connect one situation or event with another one.  And we do much worse if we continue with the crazy logic that the "what" somehow correlates to the "where".
"Columbine"?  2 kids shoot up school- with little targeting.  "Virginia Tech"?  Smart kid shoots up campus, does target some individuals.  "Ft. Hood"?  Army officer goes nuts ... more
