It is not "sticking my head in the sand", but simply admitting that I can not do anything about yet another High School shooting in the USA. I do care about it, but it is completely out of my reach.

I suspect that the huge media coverage that these horrible events are getting may incentivize lost youths to imitate.

If one is made believe that the world is full of violence and despair, one may start hating one's life and lose all hope.

Hence my rant about media and bad news.
