You sort of get immune to the mass shootings after a while. Besides, what's to discuss?

DU isn't a news site per se. It's up to the people here to decide if something is worthy of discussion or not. Sometimes major news stories simply don't have a lot of traction here.

I heard at least five in critical condition. That means serious life changing, possibly life threatening injuries.

A man shooting into a crowded train is a pretty scary thing to have happening anywhere, never mind New York City.

But no loss of life, huh? Nothing to see here…move along.

years ago.

She still suffers. Others died, but she was lucky that she didn't. Didn't make that much difference to her lifelong pain.

Talk to some who survived the Boston Marathon bombing. Ask them about their perspective, k?

when i learned about this, my daughter's class was on the subway on their way to a museum for a field trip. I was terrified that it would be a coordinated terroritst attack.

Luckily it was only one location. I'm furious. The whole day has been an anxiety inducing mess.

They need to catch this guy and get him off the streets.
