I could not believe my eyes over the past few days and especially just after the tragedy, when all the major news and media sources – vied with each other to show the most lurid details of the videos and sick ranting of the mentally deranged university shooter. After several days of milking this terrible tragedy and seeing who could draw the most tears from survivors and families – now this!
In his rant against society and the rich – he praised the Columbine shooters and, yes, the media showed snippets of their videos too. Would be celebrity psychiatrists and psychologist were paid by the TV stations to sit there and explain why he did what he did, what was his motive and only one – on ABC – came out so strongly against the airing of these videos. Only one had the guts and forethought to lambaste the airing of these tirades of a mentally ill young man.
He got his inspiration from the coverage of Columbine. He probably got a lot of more sad inspiration from the plethora of sick video games that promote violence, killing, and blood-letting in the name of entertainment.
Now through the airing of the tapes on news and now on places like My Space and other blog sites – all the similarly mentally ill youngsters looking for anti-heroes – will have a blueprint to follow and try to better. Look for this to happen more often – but with even more horrific results – WHAT HAPPENED TO ETHICAL JOURNALISM?
Parents, even Grandparents – get involved. Stand up and complain. Don’t let your kids watch these reports and keep the violent videos and video games away from the youngsters for as long as you can...at least in the formative years. DO SOMETHING – NOW! Say something - NOW! Act Now!
GREETINGS FROM SO CAL'S DESERT PARADISE
Where the Sun kisses the sand and life is good !
Where we work hard - but enjoy life, too !
Where Common Sense and Political Incorrectness reigns !
