In reply to the discussion: I Had To View 30 Bodies In Vietnam To ID Our Own. Country Needs To See The Reality Of What Happened [View all]KY_EnviroGuy
(14,489 posts)32. The only problem here is....
we have to protect our impressionable children from exposure to the gore. In this day and age, you can't "send the kids to the other room", with social media and 24/7 access everywhere.
Not sure it's wise or productive for people with certain mental illnesses to see this stuff either.
Just like the reality that we can't stuff "truth" and "reason" and "reality" or "common sense" down a right-wingers throat, I don't see a way to force people to see these things in a safe way.
A weird thought just hit me: Repugs in some states want to force a woman to witness ultrasounds and listen to heartbeats of an unborn child prior to abortion.
What if gun buyers had to view scenes of mass killings before buying a gun?

OP
All I have seen are people sitting and bodies lying on the ground like extras in a movie.

I Clearly Remember Waling Into That Tent W/30 Dead Soldiers In It. We Had Lost 3 KIA.

If the media would do a continuous count, adding the new numbers from each shooting to the totals

I agree completely. I thought they should have shown the Sandy Hook victims "as found."

There was one mother that appeared to feel that America should see her child.

"...the Sandy Hook deniers should have been forced to see the bodies of those dead children."

100% agree with you. Until it is REAL to them, they cna deny that it doesn't exist.

I always thought they should have put up a sign facing the NRA showing the dead children
