No, it's not the "shock of these tragedies". It's the moral/spiritual shallowness of most Americans. Their souls have no firm moral/spiritual anchor.
Furthermore, how long does that "shock" last and to what extent do these tragedies impact media, politicians, etc. that forces them to continue with their shallow, juvenile drivel long after the tragedies?
