The Amish schoolhouse shootings can be appreciated on so many levels. There's the murder thing, and the child-killing thing, and the deranged maniac thing, and then the school violence thing. Plus you got the extra shock value from the violence happening in Amish country, which has a reputation as a rather peaceful place. So all in all: shocking. But if you're Bob Herbert at the New York Times, you can always find something else to be shocked about, and even more, you can be shocked that other people aren't as sufficiently shocked as you would prefer. Hence Herbert's "Why Aren't We Shocked?" from earlier this week — and by the way, the more we think about it, the more we like that headline as a sort of universal catch-all for angry finger-wagging journalism in general. Anyway, Herbert points out that the Amish shooting victims were all girls (boys and adults were released by the killer), and given the killer's apparent intent to molest/rape the girls, there's a misogyny angle that deserves equal, shockworthy coverage as well. Since this angle wasn't much discussed in mainstream media coverage of the shootings, Herbert is, of course, shocked.
