Supposedly I have a bit of an unpopular outlook here according to some people... but I saw this thread and then looked at a news article about it and my reaction is... no reaction.
There are 7 billion people on this planet. Every day, there are going to be a few of those 7 billion things that do something like this. It happens. People get all upset on the news like this is something new (it's not) and wonder questions aloud like how could this happen (statistically, it is going to) and my oh my what should we do to stop it (nothing).
This is life. People are complex things. Some of them lose it. It sucks when they do. There is no short term fix that makes it better for everyone.
Like a modern computer processor, if you build enough of them, one out of ever million or so isn't going to work right when you turn it on one day.
And man I hate the CNN headlines. People died? bust out the 126pt font! Normal, happy news happened? Eh, 18 Pt. font.
