I can't think of anything more insulting to the families of the victims than to give the gunman exactly what he wanted--the national spotlight. They could have released a transcript or paraphrased what was in the video without plastering it all over the internet. It just seems like giving him exactly what he wanted. Am I the only one disgusted by this?

No you are not
I felt it was in very poor taste.
I just kept thinking to myself for alot of these kids who have been so traumatized seeing this guy AGAIN would just be to much.
And further more I could not help thinking of the ones who didn't make it, the last thing they saw was what NBC just showed us..... this guy pointing a gun.
I could of done without the visual.

It became into between the few information products that i became into actually fascinated in... i think of that's no distinctive than the San Francisco Chronicle printing cryptic messages from "The Zodiac Killer"... human beings have an actual to comprehend as much as they might handle. I additionally ought to agree that the NRA desires to stop bothering sufferers with all their "it wasn't the weapons" crap.... (as an element be conscious) CBS has vowed to stop showing clips from the video and photograph stills on their nightly information. They stated that they do no longer experience sorry approximately liberating the suggestions (that they've been given from NBC) yet out of appreciate for the sufferers families, they'll no longer be bothering us with the photographs. i like CBS...

I agree w/ you. I also think the shooter's family is being more agressively tracked down by the media.
There weren't stories about the Columbine killers' physical homes - descriptions, etc. Or articles about their siblings.
The Unibomber didn't get to air his views/tirades on national TV.

I agree. His video should not have been aired. His thoughts and opinions are void and meaningless. I don't understand why he's getting special treatment.

He already IS in the national spotlight. And, he doesn't care anymore. He is dead.

He was mentally ill. I don't think his video gave him any glory. I certainly didn't think "wow look at that cool guy" while I was watching.
