My reactions are kind of all over the map. I heard about it, thought "aw jeez" but filed it under "another awful thing happens," put it out of my head, read more about it later in the day, decided not to say anything about it, posted about some dumb thing or other and then tacked on "yeah I know, but I don't feel like posting about it," and then over the next day tried just to dismiss it from my head when it came up since I can't do anything about it and am skeptical of the worth of vicarious mass mourning (seems self-aggrandizing in a way), had one really inappropriate reaction that being "Oh, hey, he killed more people than Whitman, my alma mater no longer is the standard-bearer, woo hoo!", gave in and read a little about the guy, wondered what kind of crazy-ass laws they're going to pass about therapists that won't prevent this from happening again but will add to the bureaucracy in the world, blew the topic off when my mother brought it up, tried to imagine being the guy who did it, felt rotten for the families of the folks that died, felt weepy reading about the holocaust survivor who saved his students because I'm a sucker for that kind of story, thought about gun control and decided it probably wouldn't have helped though I'm still in favor of it anyway...

No ticky box for that reaction?
