Something like 124 people were burned to death.

Is there some sort of benchmark for caring now? Do at least a thousand people have to die before it gets your attention?
I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that it was not a terrorist thing. Just some bozo went postal and, yes, sorry about that many deaths, but what can one say after all when it wasn't an organized thing and we know who's to blame, and we'll never really understand why a crazy guy does what he does?
