Columbine Killers
Ok, more of a rant here...
yesterday morning, then all afternoon, I got to see video tape of those two bastards who shot up Columbine high school target shooting in the mountains. Now, why would the morons in the media think to put such worthless garbage on the air? Why would I or anyone want to watch these worthless sonsubiches at all? It was disturbing. Why give them air time? Here's an idea...instead of giving mass murderers air time..how about showing some home video of the victems? How 'little Suzie' was getting ready for her first prom, or billy making a touchdown against the rival foot ball team? How about something good. Why give those two fuqs any more attention. Just my .02..

Because a lot of people DO want to watch it. It's like a bad car accident on the side of the road, you can't look away.

I agree and understand what you're saying Burner. Really.
I found it a little disturbing myself. Also, DEREK (who IS d MAN) has a point. People do like to see this junk. It's just like the thread GreatSaten created about Human meat. Many people cannot understand for the life of him why he would start such a grusome thread.....while others......think it's okay......DUNNO.

Anyone see "Bowling for Columbine" where the guy actually showed the tapes of the shooting while it was happening? That was seriously disturbing.

I think video's like this are terrible for us pro-gun ownership advocates, who are liscenced, responsible gun owners. When stuff like this is shown, all the left wing nuts come out of the wood work, and want to outlaw firearms, and take your right to defend yourself out of your hands. Outlawed or not, a criminal is always going to be able to get ahold of a gun. Think those Columbine kids had licences's for those? I Think not
![]() As for Bowling for Columbine, Micheal Moore is a tool. Every one of those statistics in that movie were not acurate. And some of the "interviews" were with hired actors. And the interview with Charles Heston was taken completely out of context. This would be ok if Bowling for Columbine was fiction. But it was classified as a "documentry". If it was up to people like Micheal Moore we wouldnt have the right to defend ourselves.

Hes a piece of shit for alot more stuff than just that movie. Hes so socialist you can almost clasify him as a communist.
And I wouldnt be surprised if he knows the communist manifesto word for word.

Besides, I don't like the idea of them putting this stuff on TV, mainly for the families. It's another case of the liberal media glorifying killers. Where did they get access to these weapons anyway? |

Some of my friends used to catch frogs and toads then strap fileworks on them and blow them up.
I hated when they did it.

When I was only 10 or so I remember a 'friend' slowly killing a bird by pumping him with a BB gun. That image bothers me to this day.

Now, why would the morons in the media think to put such worthless garbage on the air? Why would I or anyone want to watch these worthless sonsubiches at all? It was disturbing. Why give them air time? Because just as you just said above, YOU WATCHED IT and also, people with a morbid curiosity watch that shit and that gives the stations ratings. If we didn't watch it the shows would get lousy ratings and the airing would stop but there is obviously a market for it so thus it exists. I'm not sure exactly how to put this in psycological terms but it all comes down to human nature and our curiosity with violence. I like to watch shows like that and yet they only piss me off. Why do I watch it knowing I'm going to get pissed off and enraged at what I see? I don't know the answer but we all do it. I'll have to leave this one for Sigmund Frued to answer. I think it's because we all want to have sex with our mothers. hahahahaha Here's an idea...instead of giving mass murderers air time..how about showing some home video of the victems? How 'little Suzie' was getting ready for her first prom, or billy making a touchdown against the rival foot ball team? How about something good. Why give those two fuqs any more attention. Burner, now you know this is BORING! I know I wouldn't watch some stupid TV show about how billy scored his 1st touchdown or some sissy stuff like Suzies 1st prom. That is boring tv and nobody would want to watch it. As for shows about the victims, they exist my man. discover Channel show them all the time. I forget the name of the show but they dedicate a certain amount of the show to giving you background on the victim then the crime/criminal against them and lastly the punishment of that criminal. Now that I think of it I believe the show is called Crime and Punishment. There are several shows like this though. |
