As an aspiring journalist and a former NIU student (for some summer courses anyway), thanks for the video. I don't agree with you on gun control, but I think you made some excellent points, especially about the media. Thanks for the video and take care.

[JustA11en]

Thank you, for the candid feedback. It is appreciated.

you are an excellent person. you are someone who cares about people being themselves. sometimes the media does dumb things just for ratings.

[JustA11en]

Thank you, for your very kind words.

Its to bad people dont get more involved in the lives of people in there communitys.

Most people know why this type of killing happens. They just choose to not make it their problem until they are directly effected by it. Or their the victim.

[JustA11en]

Very true. Thanks for the feedback. It is appreciated.

True wisdom is usually found in the most humble and unexpected places.

Thank you.

No, I wanna hug you right now. BIIIIIIIIG HUG and lot of friendly kisses on you.

Take care Allen, you are a really sweet man. And I know your struggling with PTSD have that shit too, my thoughts run much like yours because of it.

you have to report it. Even if the school shooting was not reported by mainstream media , cho's video would have found its way on youtube or some other video hosting site. Why hide this event? Have you ever asked the question that maybe society wants to see a school shooting rather than talk about or even acknowledge mental illness? Cho sueng-hui would have carry out the shootings if it did not bring him immediate widespread attention.Blame him but blame society as well .

very powerful, i really do need to pull away from myself

[loopifif]

haven't you learned that people are stupid? if the media stops playing this, then people will not watch crazed gunmans and world's a happy place etc

The romans may have had a hrad life but at least they got all the sht done [and done right]

Nice vid. You are truly a quality guy and that makes you a rarity. God bless.

If it weren't for the people watching this crap instead of flipping the channel or turning off the tv the media wouldn't be pulling off this stuff.. As long they get the higher ratings they will continue to do this, don't blame the media, blame the people for putting up with it!

[nateW24]

i agree with almost everything you say.

Americans love violent news. We love watching car chases in california and hear about a roof caving in and killing people. The news networks know this and prey upon this weakness.

There's always the reporter John Stossel, he doesn't take the traditional way of reporting the news. Oh yeah, and you should have said "infamous" which means he's famous, but not for a good thing. Other than that I still agree with your point of view.
