@estelle Brightwell oh it's not scary here. We just report on
   the 0.00000000001% of dramatic stuff. Everything in US media is
   portrayed like a movie. Reality tends to be duller than this
   most of the time. Things DO happen but we repeat the telling of
   the SAME EVENT over and over until it feels as if it's always
   happening. We like drama. But if you add the spaces of time
   between the events and multiply it by the number of ppl these
   things ARENT happening to in the USA... These things ALMOST
   statistically speaking didn't happen at all. They did though.
   That's what makes it news and not an everyday unreportable thing
   like "he brushed his teeth today".
