32 dead...
32 dead.
For continuing coverage of the campus massacre...
STOP playing the video.
STOP plastering his face all over the internet.
STOP giving him the platform.
I don't want to know HIS name...
I don't want to remember it like I remember the Columbine murderers, but cannot tell you ONE of the innocent!
Maybe people will stop seeking attention for these hideous actions, if we rise above them and NOT give them the attention. SOMETIMES...it's not news.
Just one of the innocent dead. Report on him or her. Let THAT young man or woman live in infamy.
American Media disgusts me.
I am angry.

I understand where you're coming from and agree to an extent, but I really think that these incidents are wake up calls.
I believe we should be using these tragedies as ways to figure where society went wrong with people like the columbine kids or this guy. So yeah, not out of morbid curiousity, but out of concern, what drove him to such an extreme?

They are wake up calls. I agree with you that we should be assessing what goes wrong that these acts happen. But when the extreme does happen, we don't owe the person responsible the limelight. We don't owe him a legacy. That footage should have been kept out of the media. It should have instead been sent to psychological evaluators or the like. There are committees that have been established that are supposed to be dealing with this phenomenon and are obviously failing. But showing the footage gives fame that the person sought in life--in death, and in my opinion prompts others to follow.
