    Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, ...
    If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
Yes, this is important, yes, it's newsworthy. No, it's not "Hacker News". It's all over the news, and there's nothing specific about hacking, or start-ups. It's not even of "deep interest" in any real sense. It's tragedy, pure and simple, and then it becomes politics.

I hear you, and I'm not going to flag this because it just seems like if people want to talk about it they should talk about it. It's just that noteworthy. But it just seems like it's nice to have a place to focus back on your work and you craft.

There is something to be learned from what the HN crowd's thoughts are on this though, but I'm conflicted.
