I agree completely that it's a fruitless exercise to rank the severity of mass murders. I took issue with afc wimbledon's post where he seemed so confident in his claim that the Edmonton killing spree was quite obviously "worse" because it involved children. That doesn't at all make it a greater tragedy, and I'm curious why he seems to think that it does.
