Another mass shooting

[cascadiance]

3. I also noted not long after the Roseburg shooting in Oregon another police shooting also in Oregon..

... where a woman who was said to be suicidal was shot and killed by three sheriff deputies here not far from where I live here in Beaverton.

She probably wasn't a person of color as I noted at the bottom of the thread after she was identified, but it is another example that of when we have an excessive number of murders, a huge number of those that aren't the most sensational of murders or police shootings get little of no attention, when if these happened in other countries where their gun deaths are a lot less than ours would be giving these other cases a lot more attention. Maybe if someone had a video shooting of this woman getting shot, or similarly for that other murder in the report of the original post here, they might have gotten more attention.

We are getting desensitized by not being able to give attention to all of these cases at once. And therefore unconsciously we're getting more used to violence being a part of American life. It's pretty sad, but I think this is a side effect of having so many guns out there in society, and many of them getting misused.
