Whats with the knifings?
After reading the story about the Calgary stabbings, I noticed a trend - namely, that there have been a rash of stories about stabbings in the Canadian news for the last week.
I've noticed similar trends in the past - after a shooting for example, journalists will hound something or someone if so much as a firecracker goes off. but what I noticed about this latest trend is that no singular event appeared to set this off. Is it just a spike in attacks with sharp objects, or is it just morbid curiosity that is attracting reporters?
