Excerpt:

Pete Kearney, 47, lit a candle at a vigil near the fire station next to Sandy Hook Elementary School. A father of two teenagers and a 22-year-old, tears streamed down his face as he walked away from the site late Saturday. Kearney said he had read out loud the names of every victim of Friday's school massacre to his 17-year-old son to take in the loss to the community. “It just felt never-ending … overpowering, overwhelming,” said Kearney, a golf course greenskeeper whose children live with him. “It felt real before that, but then, you know, you see the ages and the names … it's just incredible, so sad. I don't think I have the words.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
