"The bodies were all in a state of being difficult to identify"

Hmmm. It might be a bad idea to overcrowd your subway trains, particularly when one of the passengers is a looney toon.

Obviously no one cares

Only American lives matter. Surely everyone knows that by now.

It notes the vunerability...

Of a free society where people assume total safety over reasonable safety. The fact that a loon with a flammable device can kill so many, underscores the reality of safety and security. We could put cameras on every corner, in your home etc.. but, if the intent to do harm is there, all that's left is to find your victims.
The need for awareness in our everyday lives, cannot be ignored. This stuff will happen now and then.
It is a tragedy, but one that could not be prevented no matter how many safeguards are out there.

The same applies for deliberate terrorism.

Of coarse we care. The loss of human life is tragic. Especially in a way such as this.
What do you want us to say?
It's absolutely fucked up.
