This was back in April, but the point is correct. A terror attack in the West is not expected. Sadly, a terror attack in Africa is, hence the response is not the same.

Re: 147 Dead in Kenya
There are enough bad things that happen daily to have 24 hour news a day that never repeats.
Kenya is a long way away. I'm far less concerned about what happens there than I am in Paris.
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

I double dare anyone to try and empathize with all the misery in the world. You won't last a yoctosecond before going crazy.

You must be one of those depression junkies. There (still) is plenty of room under the Sun & Moon for everyone.

I am no depression junkie, a Disney-movie can make me break out in tears, it's just easy to upset me. I really don't want to think about how this must have looked like

Re: 147 Dead in Kenya
This event was discussed quite a bit on BBC. Just depends on where you get your news from, which region you have it set to and also what your search engine predicts you are interested in and hence filters out the rest...
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

I can appreciate another man willing to admit it.There are enough bad things that happen daily to have 24 hour news a day that never repeats.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

I'm not convinced that is the point which the OP is trying to make.

I'm surprised the guilt shaming brigade hasnt shown up yet to disparage people for not bursting into tears over every sad bit of news.
