I have concluded that when something really important happens I will hear about it from other people. This news story sounds quite interesting: like they are trying to find the balance between reporting on the issue and not offending the local Muslims.

"...it was over the top for the reporter to go on about how Glaswegians are resilient and they will come together as a city and come to grips with this horror although naturally Glasgow will never be the same again."<br /><br />Yeah, I often feel that way about the news. As sad as this tragedy is, Glasgow actually will be the same again. It just will -- for their sanity, Glaswegians will process this and eventually more or less forget about it. The people whose family members have died will not be the same again though.<br /><br />I watched some of the footage from the funerals of the two who died because of the Muslim gunman in Sydney. At one of the funerals, the victim's mother pleaded that we not forget her daughter. And honestly, we will forget her. Her family will not, but the general population will. If we never forgot anybody who died, we'd be catatonic with grief all the time.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992516879346846271noreply@blogger.com
