Another face is burned into our memory, and another name is talked about around the world. <\/p>\n<p>We become so focused on the person committing these acts of violence, that I\u2019m afraid we\u2019re losing sight of the big picture here. Sure, we see flashes of the victims and their families, but we can\u2019t seem to get enough of the bad guy. It\u2019s all we hear about. It\u2019s all the media gives us. I can name five mass murderers off the top of my head but I couldn\u2019t list five of the victims if I tried. <\/p>\n<p>What is with this macabre obsession? Some talking heads in the media have even openly acknowledged this fact. But they\u2019re so dependent on the ratings and keeping your eyes glued to the screen, that, well they\u2019re not changing their news coverage any time soon. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/embed.videodigm.com\/b730d9fc8caec8713fe909ab9a2fcef0\" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The folks at NRA News send us their latest commentary from Natalie Foster who talks about &hellip; <a title=\"NRA News; Natalie Foster: Wrong Heroes\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=40044\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">NRA News; Natalie Foster: Wrong Heroes<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40044\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
