When one is exposed to this type behavior they become calloused to the real severity of the reaction. They become accustomed to and unaffected by the violence. It becomes accepted/expected.
We have allowed our society to make it acceptable to do/view this violence daily. A very much different person evolves from such exposure.......and we are continuing to allow it at an earlier and earlier age.
Condition reflex!!!! It is real. School shootings are a perfect example.
