PS
I saw the same footage on every TV station I tuned into, so NBC
should not
be alone. It is alone, but I don't think it should be. If there was
an
error in judgement to put this story on the air and show all of the
awful
pictures, all of the networks made the same error.


And I'm sick of this. They need to STOP broadcasting these sickos,
because
all that does is encourage the next shooter to go out in a "blaze of
glory"

ENOUGH

Me too. I've had quite enough of it.

They should have turned it over and waited, at least for a period of
time, or maybe never. Have some respect for his mom and dad also. They
are hurting too.

In this last, I agree.

So you think the media feeding frenzy is okay?

I don't think I have indicated that. IMO, repeating it over & over & over
for hours on end is absurd & unnecessary. This happens, no matter the
current large news story - it dominates the news to the point that other
news (Iraq, anyone? - R. Gates' trip, Baghdad's latest deaths...) becomes
eclipsed.

OTOH, I also feel that all pertinent information that becomes known about
this guy's personality traits & actions should be broadcast (and printed),
in order for the public to become better educated (via the news, in this
case) about the red flags that can be displayed by such mentally ill
individuals.

Ex: A few years ago there was a gunman in the Capitol building. It
transpired that he'd killed animals (kittens, IIRC), shortly before his
Capitol Bldg. shooting spree. I think the fact that this was reported in
the news served to alert anyone (who hadn't known about this aspect of
mental illness) to the fact that people who kill animals - which is bad
enough! - often go on to murder humans, too. IOW, that behavior is a huge
red flag which should not be ignored.
