What are we shocked about? Is it really the age of the hitboy only? Or isn't it that it has happened amongst ourselves, in the middle of our living place?
In africa things like this happen almost every day in some countries. Boys 13 and 14 year olds not only shoot dead people and shoot in wars in which they have been taught to fight, but along with the older teens or young adult men stoned by drugs and testosteron mutilate and dismember helpless victims with machetes, even commit rape on mutilated women that they had cut of limbs or breasts themselves just seconds before. These conflicts often get encouraged and silenty supported by Western and Russian and Asian politics eyeing certain ressources, often rare ressouces needed for our hightech industries and that they hope to exploit more easily if the clan and civil wars continue or some evil faction dominates the conflict. This hardly ever makes it to the news, and we comfortably refuse to take note of it, and when we boycott at least blood diamonds, we are thankful for the opportunity to have relieved our conscience. But when a young killer pops up in our homecountries, then suddenly we pretend "to care". Do we really? I think we really have to readjust our sensors.
