We may claim the ideal that every life is equal, it is probably not how we actually feel.

The reporting about the recent shooting at a PA political rally largely ignored the one person who died and the two who suffered serious injuries.

We do not value life equally.

I highlighted that and people got triggered.

I don't think society is willing to accept thats how we act as collective and it is very disturbing. Since one would NOT act like that on their own but when news is running the talking points, we just talk about them. Not what should be discussed.
