There was a knife attack in Germany. A pretty brutal one, with a small Moroccan kid and one German man killed by a mentally ill man set for deportation.

As usual, it's fodder for the right and a giant media story.

But I didn't read about it here in my feed until well after it happened. And that's how it should be, frankly.

Violence is awful, and reading about it hits us in the least intelligent, most reactive parts of our brain. Proportionality matters.
