That headline is an absolute gut punch. Maybe I'm just being sensitive as it's literally the first thing I read in the LR this morning but it might be nice to keep that info in body of your post and keep the title a bit less sensationalized.Not having a go, but how would suggest it be titled otherwise? Would a softer title still have you open the thread and if so, could it not have gone the other way; lulling you in then shocking you?

The first line of his post would have been a great substitute: "the cost of American gun culture" or whatever it was. He could have even included a warning about the contents.
I dunno. I've said my piece. I don't see the benefit of posting what he did other then to perpetuate the shock and awe culture of modern journalism to get eyes-on stories. Apparently others disagree. We just had a crazy shooting in my town, and I have a young kid so maybe it's all just hitting close to home but I really don't see the point in bludgeoning people over the head with that headline. Again it just strikes me as tragedy porn. To each their own. Hopefully the OP will at least thoughtfully consider this perspective.
Long Chile was a silly place.
