Today this blog has nothing to do with my online endeavour , it is a cry, a call.
One more time America is in tears and again it feels impotent to avoid the killing of its youth. The senseless repetition of the macabre scene. But the pain is not enough for the media that, in its desperate search for rating has no limits except those that the law mandates. I have been almost forced to see the pictures of the murderer every minute, every aspect of his face, the waving of the guns, I know they are also broadcasting his "angry" message... for us.. and for the next copycat. Those who crave this kind of spotlight are taking note..... the press, the media is providing every single detail... they are complying with the killer's agenda, he knew what he wanted, and he is getting it.
The next one will have the perfect guide to be another infamous famed.
Even when I protest every time I will include myself in the guilty group.. We, are all guilty, because we pay attention to the bloody details they feed us, We crave the bloody news.. they give it to us. That is the main reason for which they run each time a shot is fired... because they know our attention will be locked into their channels.. if anything good happens in the world... may be you can read about it in the last pages. The prime time is reserved for the most gruesome act, and they call it news.
Those who lost their lives were invaluable to someone and to society, Instead of depicting every crazy word this killer said, we should focus on letting the world know what we are losing when things like this happen. We should keep this killer's face unknown, buried, forgotten.
Yesterday It was Virginia Tech day... tomorrow it could be here... where your loved one goes... and it could be the next copycat who does it.. the one that is now watching and learning.
