      All violent acts against people are horrible. Imagine if we covered domestic violence—dozens of women die each week in US—like terrorism.https://twitter.com/KenDilanianNBC/status/844574460955037696 …

      I know it's a big story, but every time we freak out about a small-bore terror attack we play into their hands.

      There are many risks people face. Some are quite rare. Some are common. We pay oversize attention to rare ones; mostly ignore common ones.

          Political violence is horrible—as someone from the Middle East, I'm aghast at it. Terrorism in the Western world is a rare, rare, rare risk.

          But our new & old media is so overly transfixed over what is horrific but so rare, we are promising these killers what they want: attention.

          someone made a good point tho: shouldn't underestimate damage done by constant fear of attack. We don't worry about slipping in bath

          Yes but it's a matter of control. We fear things we have less control over eg flying vs driving.

          Domestic situations I can control. Walking down the street and being at risk from nubag believers in imaginary friends not so much.
