Editorial You probably don’t care about the kids killed today. ou’re going to read the story about the shooting in Kentucky and perhaps feel a pang of sadness. Later, you’ll learn the names of the two 15-year-olds killed today — maybe even get to know their families for a second. YBut then you’ll close the story and go back to looking at a Buzzfeed video to learn how to make the cookies you’ll never bake. Oh look, this one shows a no-bake recipe. We digressed. It’s not entirely your fault, dear reader. We’ve become desensitized to the headlines and stories the same way we’ve become desensitized to government inepti- tude. The government shutdown was an example of that. Do you realize how simple it is to get distracted by pe- ripheral topics and ideas? It’s easier to move on to the next story, the next photo or the next day. But the families of those killed and injured at Marshall County High School don’t get to do that. From now on there will be an empty bed in two Kentucky homes, two less gifts to give on Christmas and memories that no longer have the chance to be made.
