What is this "media blackout" thing you speak of?

Right after I heard the news, I thought to myself (as I don't personally know anyone at VTech) "jeez. That's messed up. I wonder how a person gets to the point in their minds where they can go and do that? I wonder if we could all be different to each other such that they didn't, or not as often? Probably. But probably also somebody's going to go batshit crazy in a very tragic way every once in awhile no matter what. I wonder who wants to join me for Chinese tonight?"

Like the loss of the Rain Forests, it's the kind of thing that sits in the back of your mind as "really bad, but basically an abstraction, outside my sphere of influence, and therefore where shall we eat?" Were someone to provide small, concrete actions I could take to contribute to a solution, I would likely take them. Until then, the new Indian restaurant in town is quite good.
