Thanks for posting this sheshe. There are too many people who aren't taking this seriously. I typically hate it when the media glorifies disasters with pic after pic that people salivate over (rubberneckers piss me off too), but there are some things people need to be reminded of. I hope that our collective better nature is going to win out, but with so much happening with such rapid regularity - shooting after mass shooting, natural disaster after disaster - I'm worried people have shut themselves off from feeling anything. I'm worried that people will give up.
