i dont know about you but it is a bit odd to me that after one shooting, it seems to me that there is another shooting, and then another. this happened after the movie theatre shooting in colorado too. also in my shcool district there were 2 lockdowns today and a kid at a neighboring high school brought a gun. another kid at my school got sent home because he said he was going to kill another student who is a good friend of mine
There are tons of school shootings a day, everywhere. However, you just notice the local and mainstream ones.

Is it really a good idea to report on these murder incidents?
If these shootings weren't so publicized by the media, maybe it wouldn't give any ideas to other criminal minds out there to do something similar. Many of these events could be inspired by other ones.

When somebody kills some kids on Connecticut, everybody weeps. When a bomber in Afghanistan blows up 60 people, nobody gives a ****.
Welcome to life. It's full of suck.

Life is easy. Life is simple. Its people that make life hard for other people.
For starters it happened in America. Secondly, children are considered innocent and are...well...children! Children are more special because they are not yet tainted by the materialism of the main stream. Schools are suppose to be safe and secure. As for the secure part, their security is pretty piss poor. But the fact stands.
Here's one for you.
Israel gets bombed, rocketed, shot at almost everyday. No news media covers it. When Israel finally retaliates, and its usually to strike key leaders, the world responds as if Israel is the bad guy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a 100% support Israel, but I wanted to offer another form of hypocrisy.
I have NO sympathy for Hamas or Islamic terrorists for that matter.

humans are a violent species, that's a fact, so why is everyone so shocked by violence? we have spent millions of years finding new and terrifying ways to kill one another and that's likely not going to stop.
as for the media reports, remember that the news agencies make money from ratings. thus means that they are going to focus on the most shocking and dramatic stories as those attract the most viewers.

Yeah. Meanwhile in Syria, their gov't is firing missiles at it's own people. Over a hundred were killed after a single day of violence, 15 were kids. 40K-50K total civilians in under 2 years.

You naturally care more about your own people. Duh. It's much closer to home, and to your own life.[quote]
