Death and Dying

La Monde says:
It would be unjust and especially false to reduce the United States to the image created, in a recurrent way, from the bursts of murderous fury that some isolated individuals succumb to. But acts like this are rare elsewhere, and tend to often disfigure the 'American dream.'
And then in Japan, on the same day:
These things happening on the same day make my life immensely easier as now I don't have to answer to Japanese people telling me how everyone in America has a gun and how Americans and Koreans are so violent.

But as long as everyone wants to insist that they have the right to have a gun, this is going to keep happening, again and again. The numbers will keep changing, and everyone will keep talking about how violent America has gotten.
