July of 2012 was a time period filled with fear, anger, and aggression from a variety of different sources as relayed through the media. The Aurora shooting had just taken place and was leading to immense distrust from the public in regards to their own safety, creating a sense of fear and panic. Also, specifically in San Diego the community was reeling after the recent Aurora shooting that had recently occurred and many were still afraid to even travel to the movie theatre to enjoy themselves, creating a further sense of fear as well. In the highlights as well was what was occurring with The Nightingale as the public forum occurred at UCSD. Also in the national news, there was a recent case of a woman being charged with abandoning her child leading to further police investigation that would eventually lead to police misconduct as the police officer unjustifiably assaulted a suspect. In the international news, there had been a recent massacre in Norway that the Norwegian government was swiftly trying to address, as the Obama administration considered stepping up the aggression against the Syrian government. This all painted a picture for the people at the time of fear and anger as the rest of the world, in terms of the news media, was coming to terms with all of this outward and inward aggression.
