@puppy thanks for your responses puppy, I appreciate it. I too am human, so I do think it's normal and justified to feel relief at such a thing, and wish for an end...When I compare what we've both said, I think my desire is a balance of logic and emotion for the situation (this is how I tend to think of things). I've seen the consequences of similar events through history, and can already see issues springing up with this (people being silenced on blusky, blame for the shooting being shifted to the people he oppressed). In a sense, I am worried that our immediate reaction might bring unwanted attention? If that makes sense?
Admittedly there are probably other factors that lead to my outburst, though it is something I believe strongly, this year has really been piling on.
