The media needs to show the carnage.

[SoonerPride]

We must show the public what gun violence does.

Our media coverage is too sanitized.

Make the public confront the brutal ugly reality.

First graders saw it with their own eyes.

Make the nation look at it.

Maybe then there will be a large enough outcry.

European countries put oral cancer pictures on cigarette packaging. They force adults to look at the consequences of what cigarettes do.



We need to force adults to see what AR15s do.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Show it on all news shows, show it during commercial breaks of

network tv shows. Everywhere.

[msongs]

2. well it's ok to show russian soldiers get killed on media... nt

[Blue Owl]

3. Those so-called 'pro-lifers' love to display graphic medical images of fetuses and abortions

I don't see any difference in showing the aftermath of gun violence...

[SoonerPride]

5. Yes. That too.

They stand on sidewalks at clinics with giant posters of fetuses.

But prolifers aren’t upset that 19 children were aborted today by an AR 15. They don’t scream that we should bam those.

[Ocelot II]

4. Which would drive another stake into the hearts of the parents.

I get the point, but it would be unspeakably cruel to those families, especially now that we know DNA testing is needed to identify the children's bodies.

[Claustrum]

6. I agree.

That's why I said in another thread that only if the parents agree to show those pictures. I am sure some parents will be angry enough to want to do it.

[SoonerPride]

7. I get that.

But we can’t keep doing what we are doing.

Nothing will ever change.

We need radical thinking.

And maybe my idea is stupid and wouldn’t work anyway.

But all I know is what we continue to do doesn’t work.

We must try something else.

[Ocelot II]

8. I don't think it would work, simply because the GOP are cold-blooded monsters

who could probably look at the mangled bodies of little children without blinking an eye.

[SoonerPride]

9. That's also true.

But maybe if enough people are outraged they will be motivated to vote.

There are way too many people who simply don’t even vote.

[Docreed2003]

10. Agree completely

And worse yet, they'd likely pick apart any picture any suggest "false flag" or "staged", ignoring the truth in front of their eyes

[Ocelot II]

11. You could make the Senate GOPers attend the autopsies, live, and

they still wouldn't care. They might puke but they wouldn't do anything about the guns that caused the deaths.

[cilla4progress]

12. I wonder if they would support it - identification removed, of course -

if they thought it would stop one more death.

[kimbutgar]

13. I agree even if the pictures are blurred

They should show the carnage of the slaughter from assault weapons.

No more sugar coating.

[Irish_Dem]

14. Americans need immediate shock therapy.

Nothing else will work but draconian measures to wake them the hell up.

[tulipsandroses]

15. I agree that it needs to be shown. Just like Mamie Till forced this country

to look at the brutality of racism

[progressoid]

16. Then the narative would shift to outrage at the media for showing the pictures.
