Immediate action
True, you have made no such demand. If you feel I jumped to that conclusion, my apologies.
The national shrug rather made me think that something besides quiet was expected at this point.
When the little girls at the Nickel Mines school were murdered here 6 years ago, there was a lot of quiet for a while, after the initial flurry of press coverage. The Amish have a measured way of dealing with tragedy. They took time to reflect and did what they thought was appropriate later, once the dead were buried and the injured were cared for. Their response has affected me a lot. Wait and think: I say it everywhere.
