Big shooting incident, lots of people dead, media feeding frenzy, all of the pre-programmed reactions from the grief industry, endless hand-wringing by pundits and politicians, endless posts here with all variations on "this insanity must stop" and "we have to stand up to the gun nuts", etc., and then after a few weeks, everyone's attention shifts back to American Idol, or Dancing With the Stars or whatever.
Expect nothing different this time. Really.
