12. Literally took my breath away... |
|
I don't want to see - but I have to. If only to try and filter the information out for Little MB. She is only 7 and they were discussing it at her school yesterday. She is a little young, I think, and I feel they were speaking reponsibly, but I need to know what this entails to filter it for her.

It's totally chilling. The MSM has no business splashing this across the airwaves - imagine how the families would feel seeing this?

16. Hey, Will, I'm sorry I questioned your diagnosis yesterday of this guy |
|
he is obviously criminally insane and paranoid schizophrenic. My bad.
Also, look at the vest, we should be lucky that he didnt have any explosives in the vest.

What is with Americans that makes us interested in these shocking images? It's just...stupid. Duckie

15. Oh, that's so not what I meant. |
|
Jesus. All I meant was why do the images we see have to be of the killer? What about the vigil? What about the people coming together to help each other get through this. Why do people want to see the blood and the killer with the gun in his hand? Sure, tell the story, but why do we need to see pictures of the violence instead of the aftermath and people picking their lives up and trying to get through this? Duckie

All I was trying to say was why do we as Americans enjoy the blood and the gore more than caring for the people who went through the incident, and I got my ass jumped on. Duckie

24. I think in the search for answers |
|
the first thing people want is an image. Something to sear into your brain as the defining icon of a shocking event.

40. I need to know what happened, why |
|
I want to see this stuff -- I can't make sense out of something senseless, but I need to know what happened. This has been so shattering to so many of us here in VA. We know people personally affected by this. WE know the dead, the wounded, the survivors, the families and friends.

41. I don't think he was mentally ill, not like Andrea Yates et al |
|
I think he had some kind of fucked up personality disorder. The stalking, etc. seems to show that.
:sigh:

31. On the local ABC News affiliate, there's a female anchor who's just awful. |
|
She can talk about a child being murdered and giggle right after the story as a segue into the next story...sick...sick...sick...
Of course, I rarely watched that station's news, and now after airing Path to 9/11 I don't watch ABC/Disney at all.

Don't check it out, don't give MSNBC the ratings, and don't give the murderer the media "fame" he obviously wanted.

33. Who the fuck would sell that psycho a gun? |
|
NRA lovin' gun shop owners, that's who.
The fact that he passed the background check is the primary lesson to be learned here. The laws must be changed immediately. Screw the NRA, their position means nothing.
