Thanks Brian – I’ll share and give you full credit. I particularly found the ‘when we “other” people’ phrase poignant and helpful.

Thanks Ken. I think the New Zealand Government decision is very wise and I have made the changes in the post.

I was going to share it to my FB and Twitter page but today’s news from the New Zealand Government is a policy never to name the gunman publicly and give him the notoriety he seeks. Of course you weren’t to know this would be the policy or statement today but I wonder if you might reconsider and publish it again without the name? Your call – your argument still stands and the piece is so very helpful.

I just posted a short reflection on my Facebook page what I called the “proximity effect” where tragedy closest to your strongest point of identity has a much bigger impact / resonance than tragedy more distanced from your identity. I suspect that’s also why Western media picked up on NZ and consistently ignores Northern Nigeria or terror and tragedy in other non-Western nations.
