This sucks. But is it supposed to suck more because it’s a doctor?
We may claim the ideal that every life is equal, it is probably not how we actually feel.
The reporting about the recent shooting at a PA political rally largely ignored the one person who died and the two who suffered serious injuries.
We do not value life equally.
I mean yeah, she saved kids’ lives and now she’s dead. She probably had a meaningful impact on a lot of people, and saying who she is and how she was important in the community helps us feel the full impact of her death.
No, its supposed to suck more because they were on a bike. /s
