My point to you is that you should say what you mean. When you say things in the way that you have so far, and then we all misunderstand what you were saying, is that our fault? If only one of us misunderstood, then I'd say the answer is 'yes, it's the fault of the person who misunderstood.' But when this many misunderstand, then perhaps the spotlight needs to be pointed a different direction.

I asked a simple question: "So, how many other people were shot today?" That question means exactly and only what it says. There is nothing implied there. You and others chose to read
into the question that I was minimalizing this particular tragedy or that I was saying it was wrong to discuss the incident. And, yes, it is your fault because most of you do read into what others post. You do look for hidden meanings, for things implied or inferred or insinuated.
But, to clarify further since you didn't understand the very simple, straight forward question, why is this particular tragedy so worthy of our attention and the tragedy of the various unreported deaths isn't? (Please note that I said "we" and not "you;" I'm including myself in this).
Why do you and others get so bent out of shape when I view these kinds of things the way Jesus viewed them (as show in the passage in Luke I referred to in other posts)?
