Another stabbing and shooting today 2014-06-06 11:31:16 Reply

Shooting happened in Georgia and stabbing happened in Virginia. I am thinking the News is influencing all the crazies lately. We've had a bunch of shootings and stabbings the past couple of weeks.

Eh, this shit is a normal occurrence in cities like Chicago and Detroit, but no one cares unless a well-to-do guy does it.

That and people probably don't care about black people. So when it happens all the time in Chicago and Detroit it's usually blacks killing blacks and the News turns a blind eye to that.

Yes, the news is causing people to go on killing sprees.

Yeah pretty much this.We would probably be surprised to how many stabbings take place every week. News big sites just don't find it important enough to report it. You may only catch some smaller news sites reporting such stuff of minor importance(minor importance because of the fact they are not so unusual).

I honestly can't say I disagree with you on this.

There should just be a thread dedicated to talking about shootings and shooters. At this rate there's going to be a board just for that.

You can see the crime in Chicago from this link:

http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/community/englewood

Englewood is where almost all of the crime happens in the city. It's gotten to the point where navigating the area is a safety hazard. Sad really, since most of the shooters are younger than I am.

I absolutely hate it when people who kill get the spotlight.

That's what they want.

Stop giving it to them, mass media.

But body counts mean views, and views mean ad money.


The simple fact is that some people will never be happy, no matter how good their lives are.

Love is supposed to make the world go 'round, yet capitalizing on sadness, seems to have slowed the world down. The veneer of civilization as we know it, has grown thin enough for the public to see what lies beneath... and it will drive some utterly batshit enough to do stupid things, even more so than before. And certainly the last few decades of social programming, has certainly been hard on you millennials out there...

Murder happens everyday, but when the popular 'tags' pop up on the police blotter, very well funded groups capitalize on the misdeeds of others, and reinforce their agendas... which keeps the mass media news machine in work, and on the right side of their bosses, who are responsible to management and the stockholders.

That's EXACTLY what influences it. It's been the same story since the first shootings in the 90's.

Your take on the subject seems spot on.

I find it so fucking stupid that there are more and more shootings, because the media covers this shit now. I'm sure as hell that all these shootings have been inspired by the well documented news coverage.

They want attention. They kill.

They've got attention now. Lots of it, if they go on with a shooting.

It's not right to give these fucks attention.
But it does line the news executives' pockets.

What could go wrong with profit, right?

So they give them some more attention, they get the people to start campaigns against this shit, they start blaming it on other shit; video games, the internet, music, television.
They get their posthumous documentaries and dramatic re-enactment movies. 10 to 20 years later they'll still be antagonized by the media and ironically promoted, even if it is in bad light, showing the other batshit crazy folks that they'll get attention too if they do this shit.

The media has made sure that we will not forget that this shit happens, and they have made sure that if it happens, their cameras are locked and loaded to shoot.

It has become an endless cycle.
