The story is getting more and more hilarious, as the Media, is figuring out that it's not the "tragedy they were hoping for"!

Wow.

Another day, another shooting.
It seems the injured are going to likely be alright, thankfully.
This is way past surreal. What in the world is going on?
The local channels have helicopter, wall to wall coverage right now. Does that just inspire the next shooter?
Would putting restrictions on the news coverage of shootings help to stop it? Does the attention help or hurt?

Now that I've had a chance to sleep, mull over some of the things that have been said here, and gain a bit of perspective, I want to address some points.
First, as mentioned in my previous post, I live not fifteen to twenty minutes from where this shooting took place. It pains me to have to go to these measures to provide context, but I feel that it will help paint a better picture of the environment and area that this happened in.
I think its important that people understand that each event of this nature is different; the common denominator is guns and access to them by the wrong people.

Isn't this akin to a shooting in south central L.A., or chicago??
I see no real news here, just more hood violence.
Move out of the hood!

So you're saying if a school shooting occurs in a hood area it's not news and we shouldn't care?
But if it happens in a suburb like Newton, we should care about it?
Hmmmmmmm, I wonder why that is
And do you think those kids want to live in the ghetto? I forgot they got to choose where they were born or live.
In a nutshell, NO there is no reason to care unless you live in a craphole like where this shooting took place.
Crime is encouraged by the thugs in these neighborhoods, death is familiar to them as they do it to each other all of the time!
It is not harsh or mean or racist, it is a fact.
I didn't know there was a difference in the value of life suburban school kids vs. suburban school kids. Last time I checked people were people and school shootings are all equal.
Uh... everyone that lives in the ghetto is not a criminal or thug. I take it you never lived there.
I do agree that not everyone in the hood is a thug, some are what we call victims or statistics.
I do find it hilarious all of this crying of "racist" though. There is something you need to know about me, but I don't generally dump personal details for my online profile
