Among those canceling plans as a result of the Paris shootings: the Los Angeles-based band Foo Fighters. The group announced the abrupt end of its European tour in a statement: “In light of this senseless violence, the closing of borders, and international mourning, we can’t continue right now. There is no other way to say it. This is crazy and it sucks… .”
Two points.
First, there is a better way of saying it.
Second, there is no context for “senseless” when referencing that which is barbaric, heinous, horrific and evil.
