[UnrepentantLiberal]

by turning them into superstars. Instant celebrity.

[Ellipsis]

1. American Television... crime shows, violence, guns, guns, guns, cop shows more guns...

blood and guts, lack of respect for human life. It's the society we have created.

the shooter killed himself.
He's didn't do it so he could see himself starring in a media circus.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

[Fresh_Start]

9. That's just part of it

Video games

Movies

De-humanizing porn

Religious extremism

WWF, UFC

Lionizing violent criminals

And on and on and on...

It's fucked-up American culture that is the root cause.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

10. Due to the jumping on the stories, keeping it going 24/7 after it happened...

Does just that.

That is another reason I am upset on how this one story in particular is being reported.
This is a big story, yes. But there is not enough info right now. They are grabbing at straws. They are more like paparazzi than Professionals Journalist. If they would stick to the ethics that we are taught. We would be able to report and yet down play the "bad guy". This does not down play him.

[TPaine7]

11. Agreed.

Take action to stop it.
