in the other thread mark put up a freeman quote that ended instead of pointing to gun law, turn off the news i think that's what many people would prefer. that the news of these sort of actions are NEVER shown. it would mean the spotlight wouldn't shine on such matters. i think the news should be just that, "the news" as it is news has become some kind of show. they're asking grieving parents what they think and how they feel. they intrude when they should step back. tell how many were shot and how old they are but i'm sick of seeing the names of all the victims being continuously screened and voiced. they know who died, they know who killed them. why are all these reporters dragging this shit out.
no one knows why he did it unless he left a note. i want to know what's going on in the world. what i don't want is all the pathetic story lines they follow when something like this happens. the news (media) should put the news in boxes, shouldn't judge, all they should do is tell the news in as factual way as possible.
i see talk of people using the news as a platform in order to outdo the latest atrocity. do we also close down newspapers. i see talk of govs being to pc yet the same people are trying to tell people what they should and shouldn't watch. mark blames the media for these latest deaths and says, or infers, close down the media, regulate the media. god forbid the same is done with weapons.
wacko's will be wacko whatever the media. do we really think these things won't happen if they're not reported in the media? sorry but to do so would be a mistake. people going apeshit and killing lots of other people is often a byproduct of an affected mind. if it wasn't reported on tv it would be in the tabloids. you would not only have to turn off the news, you'd have to close down all the press. i'm personally sick of seeing the same thing over and over when i switch the news on, i'm turning it on less and less.
a good mental health programme with proper care to peoples rights would help but beware not to bully the innocent people just because they don't fit in.
