Because a comment forum in a newspaper is not just a spot for generic "thoughts and prayers" for the family. Their tradgedy deserves immediate response with real solution. Tacky or not, hiding our heads in the sand for a PC ineffectual fluff forum won't solve anything. Human love is self interested and biased, we need to transcend. That does not happen without a paradigm shift. People don't change when they are comfortable. I had familyat Thurston when Kip Kinkle happened, I have seen people I know die by their own hand in this community. This is not callous airing of personal agenda. This is obvious truth thatmust be addressed
