Would anyone like to share why shootings in the US (in schools/malls/etc) is becoming more common? Why the suspect is almost always male regardless of race? Including someone who is practically young?
Does anyone think the media invokes so much fear that everyone is afraid of going to school or shopping around the mall?
What do you think its intent or purpose is to send to the general public?

why do people always involve religion it has nothing to do with it! some people are just so dumb. anyway, men are more likely not to discuss if something is wrong. i dont think the media is trying to invoke fear. but if there is a shooting somewhere people are going to want to know every detail. they could care less about the viewers/readers/listeners. they want good ratings. could be wrong but its just my opinion

The media (I feel anyways) that it's soul intent was just to enducate. However, anymore now a days it seems like it's purpose is to gossip, and/or put the fear of life in people. There are some things that are good to know but most should be left out. I think it is becoming way too common. I don't know why but it seems like ever since Columbine and 9/11 it seems like that's all you hear about anymore are terroristic like events and it is driving me insane. It is almost the media is obsessed with talking about and finding out about events that go on. Unfortunately they do not have enough of a handle on weapons so now anyone who wants any kind of a weapon can get one. IT is starting to turn into a nation that is just a little TOO free and not enough discipline.

It takes an American to respond to this. u.s. is equipped on a very distinctive form of society than something of the international; there is not any forgiveness for errors. each thing is going on a "everlasting checklist" viewable by using enormously much all people. somebody has desperate there's a very particular way for somebody to be triumphant, and purely one way, this is to circulate to college and get a level and a table activity. in case you're making a mistake any time by using, that course closes and additionally you alter right into a lifelong leech on the gadget. there is not any different selection, till you opt to starve. people get upset, and while their possibility gets blown by using a teenage mistake they have not got something to lose in the event that they extract revenge. they gained't ever be triumphant; so why no longer take out some people who're and get commonplace in the approach? Gun administration won't quit this; whether that's carried out you will see greater McVeigh form bombings. this is no longer a gun challenge, that's a challenge with American society that purely individuals might comprehend.

1)Bandwagon syndrome.
2)Males don't discuss their frustrations.
3)Young folk are more susceptible to bullying.
4)Media sales, that's all that matters.
No disrespect intended.Respect to the bereaved.

Find Jesus, find peace. Keep kicking God out of every public place, find nothing but chaos. The proof is right here in front of everyone to see.
