Nah, that affected a hell of a lot of people to varying degrees. Pretty much every parent of a young child was a bit messed up over that. Hell, f*cked me up for a while afterwards. Mainly wondering how the kid was able to get so screwed up unchecked to the point of snapping like that.

But I get what you're saying.

Point being movements will try to gain ground based on flash point incidents. And it's worked quite a few times in the past.
