Littleton :: essays research papers

It seems for the past week or so, the entire world (yes, world, when I was in Spain they showed news coverage of this 24/7 too) has been shaken up by the school shootings in Littleton, CO (I call up thats the name of the town, though dont wee-wee me to that). What amazes me about this story is not the detail that two deal went into a school and shot a bunch of people (apparently this is the seventh in-school denary homicide in teh past 18 months), its the fact that the media has given extensive coverage this, and has exploited it for all its worth. I suppose with the impeachment trial over and do with, and the only thing remaining of that issue is a few jokes, the media ineluctably something new to pounce on and make a dollar murder of. And they boast d wiz just that. Everywhere I turn individual is talking about how terrible this tragedy is. Dont get me wrong, I think the senseless killing of people, which is pretty much what happened in this case, is wrong. The two boys who did this plausibly wanted to kill themselves, and figured theyd make as big of an expiration as possible, and in doing that, they have succeeded. Thats not the thing that really bothers me though, its the fact that a nation like America (and other nations too, most of my acquaintance of what happened came from a British paper) give the axe exploit something like this, and the masses can swallow it up. solely I suppose it makes good news. Who is the sicker person in this case? The nazi boy who goes into a school, kills about ten people or so, or the average American who buys the newspaper with the headline of "neo NAZI MASSACRES INNOCENT TEENS IN SCHOOL"? The boys who did this knew very well that if they were to commit off something like this, they would have the entire country (and others) all masked up in it. If they seriously wanted to kill people, and nothing else, they would have just blown up the entire school with everyone in it. But they didnt, and they hav e gotten everyone all caught up in the story. Ive seen it described as "one of the worst tragedies in history". The people that make those statements have swallowed this untruth hook, line, and sinker.
