From Brooks:

I am tired of the general media. Take the Virginia Tech massacre for instance. Within 3 hours of this tragedy the national media (NBC, ABC, CBS) began to question the VT administration because they should have known or should have done more. Can we please sit back and try to recover from this tragedy before the media tries to make a news story out of it? Can we just take this for what it is and begin the process of getting our lives back together? Let me let you in on a little secret. No they (VT) couldn’t have done more. This guy is crazy, plain and simple. Thank god he is dead and doesn’t get the opportunity to reproduce. For those of you who haven’t been to VT, it is a campus up in the mountains of Virginia and consists 25,000 students. I would say that this is not a school but a city and you cannot shut down a city because some crazy person shoots some people. Think about shutting down Indianapolis for a day because a bad crack deal went down. We would never get anything done! Then they have the audacity to show his “Manifest” on the Nightly News! Are you kidding me? Now we are going to immortalize this guy? What was the point of showing that? What does that solve? Is someone in the TV audience going to all of the sudden come up with a solution to all of this? I don’t think so. This was done for ratings and to further de-sensitize us. I am willing to bet that some other crazy person saw the news that night and is now deciding to do the same because he was inspired by this guy. WAY TO GO NBC! Way to further the erosion of our culture. Way to indirectly kill another couple of people. Imus isn’t allowed to say what he wants on his shock radio show, but you can show the last message of a mass murderer? I bet that newscast did more to ruin the lives of innocent people than Imus saying that the Rutgers women basketball team is ugly. Way to go!

    We just let that guy win!! That’s what he wanted! He wanted his fifteen minutes of fame!! Why do we have to blow everything out of proportion? Do we really have nothing better to do than give media attention to crazy homicidal people?!

    The point is ratings. TV doesn’t give a fuck about people, its about business.
