A new study is out regarding mass killings. The government doesn't report a lot of shootings; only some of them actually get mentioned to the public. At least 172 mass killings happened between 2006 and 2011. Public massacres are 1 in 6 of the mass killings. Around 50% of the killings are family. Relationship problems, and the holidays are two other causes of killings. 6 year olds are the second most killed age group. Around 94% of mass killings are done by men, while women only account for 4%.

Mrs. Obama Not Upset About Selfie
http://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2013/12/11/obama-barack-michelle-david-cameron-helle-thorning-schmidt/3985867/
At Nelson Mandela's memorial service, someone took a picture of Barack Obama and two other world leaders taking a selfie, and Mrs. Obama doesn't seem thrilled about it, although she says otherwise. After President Obama gave his eulogy for Mandela, and then went to take his seat next to the British and Danish Prime Ministers. The Danish Prime Minister, Helle Thorning Schmidt took her phone out to take a picture with Obama and the British Prime Minister. In the picture, Mrs. Obama looks mad that they're taking the selfie, although she wasn't; apparently she was joking around with them right before it was taken. Even if she wasn't upset about it, is it appropriate for Obama and other world leaders to be taking selfies at a memorial service? Especially at one of this importance?
