Come on now. This is hardly fair and very divisive. There are many decent, red blooded conservatives living in what you call "Blue States". The fact of the matter is that in most "Cities" most people dont want to get involved. This is a tragedy. Yes, it probably was a liberal onlooker crowd, no doubt. But to characterize people who live in blue states in such fashion is rediculous and unfair. If that had happened in front of me or any of my friends, it would be the perpetrator who did not survive!
Oh, there are certainly exceptions, no doubt about it.
I'm talking about the "culture" of these areas. In that context, I stand by what I said.
Sometimes when something happens so fast and in a crowd,
it's hard for people to notice quickly enough to react.
We just don't expect something so stupid to happen in
certain environments.
