My prayers are with those families. I admire you for holding your ground. This crime had a history, and sad as it is, it is actually quite different from what the fear-mongers fear.

But -- no -- it shouldn't change your parenting philosophy and style. While a tragedy like this can shatter people's illusions that we can be perfectly safe in any community or neighborhood, they don't really change the world -- a place where acts of brutality happen all the time, but where most people are basically peaceful and decent and knowledge and wariness are generally FAR better than fear.
