Does The Media Exaggerate Local Reaction To Events Such As In Plymouth?
Like when they say the 'community is in shock' and are 'trying to come to terms with what has happened' and 'councilling is available for those struggling to come to terms with it'. I can understand relatives and close friends of the victims being in shock but for the rest of the community, it's just a topic of gossip.

I think empathy comes into it. It could easily have been one of my grandchildren out with their toddler when somebody went crazy.
I feel so much for those who are dealing with the sudden loss of loved ones in this unimaginable way. How would I cope? God knows. My heart breaks for them.

Not surprised, pasta,
.and have wondered if my reaction would be so strong if the same had happened in London or up north somewhere. I somehow suspect not. The closer an event is, the greater our feeling of vulnerability I think.
Yes you are very correct, pasta.
