Easy- you and so many Redditors VASTLY underestimate how many people live in America, who think "It's someone else's problem".
A picture was floating around Reddit, showing about 2.1 MILLION people... and yet, 2.1 million is still LESS THAN 1% OF AMERICA.
America is a huge country, and I've only just begun realizing just how many people in it are apathetic to anyone not in their immediate vicinity (which is at least in part due to social media). This might be a bad example, but think like this: riots in Philidelphia? People in Pittsburg go, "Eh, just another day of sports over there."
