This might sound cynical, so I'll pose it as a question instead of a statement. Is there anyone else who actually feels little emotion about this? I find myself feeling animosity towards the killer of course, but no heart throbbing sadness or bitter tears. This sort of thing is reported upon so regularly in the news I think I've become desensitised to hearing about it. That being said, I haven't seen any footage or listened to any eye-witness accounts which I imagine is a whole other ball game.

I don't feel much of anything either, but I also don't hold life very sacred and I don't know what it's like to have kids of my own. I wouldn't say it's cynical, or even a matter of desensitization, I just think some people have different thresholds for empathy. I've never felt more than a whiff for anyone other than those closest to me.
On the other hand, I get
really sad when I learn of the death of an animal, especially a dog. Maybe I just don't give a shit about humans.
