Ironic week for ESL discussion


April seems to be the month of crazies shooting people, forget poetry. The poetry exists in the fact that we as Americans continue to talk about these spectacles. On the way to work today I heard an NPR story "taking us there" into the hall of co lum bine. I won't even spell it out correctly because I don't want this word to be searched and brought to this blog. I don't want anyone to read anything more about this or any other single gunner massacre. It is NOT honoring the victims to recreate the scene or repeat video/photo images of the shooter's bio. I am not even going to provide the link because that story should not have been produced...Interviewing the principal of the school in the evening..."the halls were probably dark just like this..." B.S. you are just trying to up your ratings NPR.

I think they should put a big black page over the cover of Time Magazine, and then have only tears and images of the victims families.

Again a "crazy" Asian has struck, last time in veetechnology, this time in BINGcrosby Hampton. (hoping again to throw off any searches to this topic.)

I know this somehow relates. The man shot up an ESL school. Every time some Asian does something stupid it makes us all look bad. Soon after that Veetechnology incident happened last year, some kind of fire alarm was pulled on Naz campus and I just so happened to be walking across campus and the University Police cornered me, and questioned me. Who knows why they didn't question anyone else that was walking around campus?

I don't really care, given the years of being thought a terrorist following 9/11. I know they have security issues to deal with. BUT I do mind that the media sets up this trap for us.

They broadcast and sell more advertising and are parasites of tragedy. They turn real life into some CSI episode. It is messed up. Then people, average people extrapolate from there, subconsciously or consciously. A racial profile is set in place.

This dude was obviously messed up, why do we need to hear his story and see him? What is the point of that?

This dude was a nobody and now he is someone because of you CNN, because of you FOX News, because of you local news Channel 10, because of you Jack so and so who already bought the publishing rights to his biography. Some stories need to be silenced.
