Rosalie's Message about the Virginia Tech Shootings

"Dear KARE (NBC-11) , KSTP (ABC-5), KMSP (FOX 9), KSTP 1500 AM, KFAI 90.3 FM/106.7 FM,

As the hours passed and the news media repeatedly said "The worst campus shooting in history" I knew in my gut that it would be only a matter of days before someone else would try to stake THEIR claim as the "worst campus shooter." And just as I expected, in the coming days bomb threats, shooting threats, gun smugglings, etc. happened on campuses across country from Seattle WA to the suburban metro-area schools near Minneapolis. And of course, a few days later we had the shooting at NASA in Texas.

We must demand that our media limit themselves when it comes to news coverage of these horrible events. These disturbed people are seeking attention ... even if it must be posthumous notariety, such as Cho gave to the Columbine murderers. Once the basic news is reported, stop! NO ONE needs to know how frightened the students were, or how horrified their families were when they saw the news media on the VA Tech campus. Glorifying violence, even under the guise of providing the people with the facts, causes further violence. Enough is enough!"
