Discussion today at my house: Do you remember when Columbine happened and it was so horrifying and nothing like that had happened in our society in our time - not on that scale - and we were obsessed with finding out the whys and the whos and the details? We spoke the names of the individual dead, because their stories were everywhere. We were full of sorrow because it was just SO HORRIBLE. We wanted to know and understand every morsel of information, tease out every possible motive or meaning. Flash forward to today - when the radio reporter is discussing past shootings and I think: Oh yeah, that guy in the Colorado movie theatre - he shot like 80 people. That one actually slipped my mind.
