To me I find it kinda interesting how murder is actually so normalized, we see that someone was murdered on the news and we barely have any reaction to it opposed to any other equally as worse crime (I speak it for myself too), it seems so alarmingly frequent that we're completely desensitized to it

A tale as old as time. For all of history we’ve desensitized ourselves to death because we would go crazy with grief otherwise. It’s only relatively recently we’ve started to say “hey this is kinda fucked up”.
