Am I a bad person for finding Sandy Hook FAR more upsetting than Steve Scalise being shot?

18. I'm upset anytime anyone is shot.

I'm upset that Scalise was shot. I'm upset that a staffer was shot. And I'm upset that Capitol Hill police were shot.

Of course, I was more upset by the Sandy Hook shooting, because that resulted in fatalities, not just of children but also of teachers. And I was more upset about the Virginia Tech attacks than today's shooting, because it too resulted in fatalities (more than Sandy Hook). And I was more upset about the Gabby Giffords shooting than today's shooting, not because Gabby is a Democrat but because it also resulted in the deaths of children and adults and permanent injury to Giffords.

But don't ask me which of those incidents which resulted in fatalities is "more upsetting" -- I can't distinguish between a murderous rampage that kills 26 versus one that kills 32 or one that kills 12 or 6 or any other number.
