There are several every year in America now, and it doesn't make national or international news the way Columbine did when they were relatively rare.
We're also just not as engaged with the news out of Africa or South America. Brazil has a very high murder rate.
What makes this so shocking for us is that the UK is actually relatively safe. Violence is not an everyday occurrence that is the backdrop of our lives. |
How many are random non-targeted attacks? It mysteriously doesn't occur evenly across all demographics in the UK.
Things like gang warfare have an identifiable reason. Even if we don't agree with the reason, we know what it is. These sorts of random non-targeted attacks don't have an identifiable reason or maybe they do.

Not those sort of attacks. If it was then they would've been occurring for centuries.
