This is no more worst than the James Bulger case 10 years ago, but it doesn't make this any better or easier to swallow.
I was living in Liverpool at the time if the Jamie Bulger case, the whole city had a horrible weird feeling.Raymond Lin said:

The main thing that gets to me is the waste of life but I feel that whether someone's been murdered or if they've died of cancer, such as Linda Smith last week.
But it doesn't chip away at my faith in humanity, I just have to remind myself that there are many good people out there, it's just it doesn't make a good story for the papers so they go unreported often.

Thats why i stopped reading or listening to the news, too mcuh grief and bad news all round for my liking although now and again you get the odd good feeling story come up.
But yes this is pretty shocking, my mum was talking about it the other day and saying to me WTF is up with this world these days??, everyone just wants to be selfish and hurt each other

Humans are naturally selfish, they will indulge in whatever pleasure they can find. Sometimes that pleasure is harmless, other times it comes at the expense of others. Everyone's guilty of that to some extent. There's no shortage of people on these forums who enjoy taunting people who post old topics or will happily resort to personal attacks to win a debate.
It's rare that someone will truly put themselves out to help someone else.
The only thing that would shock me is if people stopped killing and hurting each other.

Sort of a side note but I love the unity that Liverpool has. They go down as one, and pick themselves up together. Lovely place
