It does feel different, even after Columbine and UVA and too many others. Certainly that they were children - 6 and 7 years old - has a lot to do with it, as does how many were murdered. Perhaps, too, it's the time of the Turning that has us more upset - that it's Reactives and Civics identifying with the parents - for those others, the victims were Civics, their parents Boomers and Xers. While the Crisis puts us on edge, there's some idea of an underlying normalcy, which this shatters.
There are calls for change, of course. How much this relates to the Crisis will probably be shown in whether anything is implemented - what do we do, if anything.
