i don't get all the fuss - and i've been following this story for a little while now, trying to work out exactly what is so important about this all... considering how many worse things are going on than self entitled pricks topping themselves to avoid being punished by law (whether excessive punishment or not). this may be insensitive, but why don't school shootings result in the same kind of critical look at gun laws? or killing pakistani civilians with drones in breach of international law or the idf killing more palestinian /children/ than israelis have ever died at the hands of palestinians, which is indirectly funded by 'aid' money totalling some $3 billion from the US at a time when the country is suffering economic problems and is cutting benefits for its own citizens that cost a lot less. trade embargo against cuba because of a revolution that installed a government chosen by people through a fight for freedom that happened to not align with the ideology of the administration in the 60s pick one, they all kill more people and are vastly more important and worth spending your time being angry at your government for. this is a piffling tragedy of people who can't deal with first world problems... i shed no tears for anyone involved. downvote at will.
