Sandy hook and the shock value associated with horrible acts such as these

a class room of children 5-10 years old massacred, parents and children alike scared, devestated by the loss of friends and family, the innocence of a child lost forever from those who survived and witnessed it. I have one question besides the obvious "how could you kill innocent children and destroy so many others lives" and this question is to CBS and any other news channel who is doing it. how on earth do you think its right to show pictures of children crying at the loss of classmates, at witnessing this horror, what i assume a mother in dismay on the phone at what has happened, over and over while you cover this story? its not right and the fact that you want shock value for views is disturbing. at least thats the only explanation i can come to about your actions.


Do these news channels REALLY need to invest, be it true or false, shock value? I would think when murders, suicides, terrorist attacks, hell you name it if it falls in the catagory of " oh my god what has happened? this is horrible" would be shocking enough... but i suppose they want more views on the websites and tv Statations they are associated with. (which would mean more money for them I would assume, be it direct payments or not)

Gun Laws

We have over seven billion people on this planet. Can you wrap your minds around that? Most likely no, so why do you we generalize, compact, and tie everyone together from one individuals actions? Isnt it safe to say racism is derived by doing the three things stated above in some shape or form? what about political hate for different parties? You either put every republican or democrat in with eachother, or you follow everyone else close to you in a single opinion, well to some extent. What about all these tests for what causes gun violence? Its true some of what they are testing can cause it, it isnt the main issue or the main cause and the fact is simple to me; individuals will differ even slightly from one another. After all, we have over seven billion individuals that can make different choices, believe different things, take different actions, and follow different standings. Shall I compact it for you slightly? America has 315,083,264 people as i type this, thats 315,083,264 possibly different outcomes, actions, choices, and mindsets. To get to my main point or at least one of them, we need Gun control, but not gun bans perse, I mean.. you can get an Assault rife the same day, but you have to wait 72 hours for a handgun ( as far as ive heard on the news.. which... isnt the most reliable source of info at times, but hey?) Our gun laws at the very least need reworked and revised. Have a great day everyone.
