the media is the problem. i would be willing to bet that your average every day italian feels no ill will towards america. the media and the television are a HUGE part of the problems that go on in this country. instead of calling up ol al sharpton for his opinion, these news companies should look to themselves before they start asking opinions of everyone else about what went wrong. video games and gun companies aren't to blame. if anyone besides the shooter needs to be blamed its cnn and fox news and all the other shit slingers out there. its just like with poor imus, bill maher made a great point last night on real time. he asked sharpton if it wasn't for the media would it be such a big deal? because he highly doubted that the girls b-ball team was listening to imus's show. it just goes to show that the media makes a shit storm out of everything just because they can.
and they do it on a giant scale, and right down to a little scale. my old fraternity got into a bunch of shit because a few of the members painted their faces black for a party with a 'rappers' theme. apparently the media got a hold of some pictures and caused a big ol stink. anymore the media doesn't report the news, they try to cause controversy. i think i'll stick with the newspaper from now on.

boilerup~ you hit the nail on the head. the media puts these guy's faces all over the place, every home in america now knows this guys name. maybe if they blatantly refused to put up his name or tell anything about him, it might just stop the next wack job from strapping up if he knows he'll be anonomyous. but dont tell the media that, they wouldn't stand for it.
