...there seems to be a lot of surprise at the shootings in Littleton.
While I can understand the surprise of the particular community I can't help but wonder that people seem astounded in general when (as has happened repeatedly in US school shootings) young white uppermiddle class males start killing people.

...is there anybody but me out there who WASN'T surprised?

...is there anybody but me out there who was more surprised at the
EXTENT of the coverage than the CONTENT?

...there's a Japanese proverb that fits:

-you can fix the problem
or you can fix the blame
not both.
