although i tl;dr'd spuki's rant, the general feeling of frustration is pretty high in me. i'm the resident yank in my school (for spending 5 years in northern VA... yeah), and let's just say i've been going off on pretty heavy walls of rage (wall o'texts irl) to anyone discussing this subject. i was in fairfax county from '98 to '03. meanwhile, there was columbine, 9/11 that hit pretty hard, the fucking beltway sniper (who gave my sister major neuroses due to vulture-reporters), then years later a few friends were at VTech, a bazillion and a half school shootings later, and one boston massacre later and still people keep on getting killed due to monsters. when will we learn?! i'm tired of waking up and seeing horrors committed across the world. hell, even in france who is pretty reasonable there was a fucking killer in my town last year! when will it all end?!
i'm not trying to pass for a victim, here. i know i was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and that shit happens. my heart goes out to anyone near the boston area: i know that terror too well, and i wouldn't wish it on anyone but the biggest douche-canoes.
all i'm saying is: why the fuck won't people learn? it's really depressing.
The number of ax crazy murderers out there is pretty low. The media just loves to blow it out of proportion so the have something for news.
One thing though is that there aren't usually this many crazy things that go done so close to each other. The number is still small, but it has grown in the last couple years. That, or people haven't paid attention to it before. I have to wonder what triggered the recent growth?
Recognition, ego, THEY'RE FACE & NAMES BEING PLASTERED EVERYWHERE! This is why I'm getting into the habit of not using names....Thus my use of "Black Hat" & "White Hat" or "The Boston Marathon Bombers" for these bozos.
Likewise, other famous killers should be referred to indirectly:
Adam Lanza = Sandy Hook Shooter
James Holmes = Aurora Shooter
Seung-Hui Cho = V-Tech Shooter
Harris & Kleibold = Columbine Shooters
Mark David Chapman = Lennon's Assassin
Charles Manson = Spahn Ranch Cult Leader
The Manson Family = Spahn Ranch Cult Killers
and so on....
Whenever possible, try one's best to not refer to the infamous loser by name or plaster their mugs everywhere! I don't care if a perp is even cute to look at (I confess, I find that White Hat slimeball rather boyishly cute. Some photos the the Norway shooter guy, with the longish hair & GQ clothes, were kinda handsome, too.....but I despise both & outer looks mean zilch, they're fugly!) DON'T HYPE THEIR FARGGIN' FACES ON THE BOOB TUBE LIKE THAT!
