Welcome to 'Murica

Looks like the shootings were not, despite what Mike Huckabee wants you to think, targeted at Christians. At least, according to this report:

"McGowan told family members that the gunman didn't specifically target Christians but asked them about faith. The shooter, apparently planning to die during the massacre, told students: "I'll see you soon" or "I'll meet you soon.""

This is not up for debate. But OL's statement is, apparently.

Kinda ****ed up if you ask me.

I don't think it's debatable actually in the sense that we do. Where the debate is, IMO, is where does one right stop and he other begin?

I think the NRA and gun banners are both extremes and out of touch. So where should the line be drawn?

I made it all the way to page 8 before I decided enough was enough. Judas, some of you have your heads so far up your *** you can taste your tonsils. Let me break this down for you tards:

Guns don't kill people.
Angry people kill people.
Stupid people kill people.
People who want attention kill people.

Banning guns would be the stupidest thing since prohibition, only ten trillion times more idiotic.

If we're really reaching for reasons why the USA has all of these mass shootings, let me give you an example of why it really happens: As I drove around last Thursday, listening to every station on the radio blabbing on and on about the shooting, the chick on KSL pulled the classic 'Murica. "The shooter, who has been identified as Chris Harper-Mercer, killed 9 and injured 7. The parents of the victims (and others I don't remember) have asked that we do not identify the shooter by name, so that we can focus on the tragedy and victims rather than giving all of the attention to the maniac, which is exactly what he wanted." That is paraphrased, but the beginning was exactly how it went. She said the killers name, followed by the quote of being asked not to use the shooters name.

THAT is why we have mass shootings. Reality TV, the Kardashians, The Real Housewives of WhoGivesA****, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, etc., etc., etc.. It's all about getting your five minutes of fame. It's all about America's hunger for all things "reality", and their insatiable lust for divisive politics. Why just kill yourself, where nobody but your mom and few friends will care, when you can kill a bunch of people and go down in history? I must've seen four different news casts talking about Columbine this week, and of course, they talked about nothing more than Dylan Klybold and Eric Harris. For a million dollars, can anyone here name ONE SINGLE VICTIM of the Columbine shooting? Nope. But you better believe we all know who the shooters were.

So there you have it. Blame guns all you want, but the truth is, the blame lies with all of us. Go to your DVR and delete all that horrible **** that you indulge on. Stop listening to blowhards like Hannity, Rush, Olberman, Savage, etc. Stop giving these *** holes exactly what they want, which is media, media, media. Attention, attention, attention. Me, me, me.

I had no idea what the names of the colombine shooters were.
But I don't really watch the news at all and don't enjoy coverage of people killing people.
I prefer sit-coms and sports
 
when you run out of insightful things to say, you can always run to that bastion of generalizing hogwash: blame "the media."

People blamed novels for corrupting the youth around the beginning of the 20th century. NOVELS.

@JFC,

I suggest we move to an archetypal analysis of avatars on this site. For a while I thought that Jamezz was an alt of hotttnickkk because the sting of his stupidity was similar enough to the sting of hotttnickkk's that the identity seemed plausible. And while it appears that hotttnickkk and jamezz are not ACTUALLY the same person who sits in front of a computer to write on this site, I still think there's ample evidence to suggest that, in terms of archetypes, we have a spectacular and singular type of stupidity, in two avatars.
 
@JFC = to the entire jazzfanz community

the rest is a justification for saying jamezz = hotttnickkk

Is this the medias fault? Of course not, but they have their role to play in all this.
