Did you read the rest of the sentence? The part where I said it "realistically could have happened anywhere".
You can't deny the reputation America has as an "arm everyone" nation. An 8 year old with an Uzi is almost a "poster boy" for that reputation, hence the photograph.
It may be "old", and I understand you live in the US and are probably really sick of the various jokes made at it's expense, but that doesn't mean there isn't a huge percentage of non-Americans reading this story and thinking "only in America". Especially when you get into the details of how this particular gun show was being advertised to people. "Shoot at things we can't even print here"
I know it's exaggerated, and you know it's exaggerated but that doesn't make it wrong to point it out. Though I am sorry if I offended you or anyone else reading this.
Truth is, any time someone so young is killed it is tragic beyond words. Didn't mean to take away from that point.
