Look, too, at the timing of Sandy Hook's mass shooting. It occurred only two weeks after Obama's re-election, and right on the heels of his proclamation to concentrate much more fully on disarming the American public. The horrid nature of Sandy Hook was so heinous, it almost ventured into the cliche. A school full of preschoolers?? Two weeks before Christmas?? Really? Could the shooter have stomped on some kittens on the way in, and twirled his Snidely Whiplash mustache while he shot?

Why isn't this Breaking News?

I agree, not by chance.

Remember those pictures of Seung-Hui Cho in the army uniform? Somethings afoot with these creeps.

And the guy who stopped a terrorist on a train in France goes to this college?

Next thing you know we’ll be seeing the crisis actors pop up.

We have been talking about this at home for years. Seems likely.

I wondered the same thing myself but was too shy to say it. Obozo jumped right into gun control!

[Crazieman]

Laz, I love you. I reached the opinion vocal lefties should be imprisoned. But I’m not quite there yet on this theory.

I think so too......have thought this for some time.
This is not happenchance

[CaptainPhilFan]

It struck me that the Shooter and ObamaCare Pajama Boy looked similar. Looking at their pics (PJB is Ethan Krupp), they have the same moles on their necks, same noses, same sneer. The shooters profile so far is ridiculous.

I’m incapable of posting pics here to back up my theory.

I know, I’m a nut job. Just saying. Pass the tin foil.

First thing I thought of. Keep me posted please.

"...Note how the two shootings make a perfect diagonal across the country, symbolically book-ending us with violence..."

You can’t put anything past an administration willing to stoop to Fast and Furious.

[Pollster1]

Orchestrating a mass murder for political advancement requires an unspeakable level of evil combined with an insatiable lust for power. Both traits certainly describe Barack Hussein Obama. I’m not convinced this attack was orchestrated, but I’m not convinced it was random either.

Consider the Gabby Giffords shooting: At the memorial service, Thousands of custom t-shirts (free souvenirs) were draped over the seats at the U of A stadium. Logistically impossible. It is easier to believe that the t-shirts were designed and printed before the shooting.

[allblues]

I do think there is orchestrated violence, but am more inclined to attribute it to the necessity of civilian disarmament in order for the anti-Christ to assume absolute global power, and libtards, being servants of Satan, are all too willing to oblige.

[justlurking]

Laz, I doubt these crimes are being orchestrated for the purposes of disarmament. I agree that the hoplophobes are exploiting these tragedies, but I don't think even they are stupid enough to try to start one.

But, these atrocities are certainly being encouraged. It's obvious to anyone that pays attention, and it's been documented for at least 20 years:

Ethical Problems of Mass Murder Coverage In The Mass Media

I was only recently made aware of this article. But, I remember writing Usenet postings back in the late 90's, saying exactly the same thing: the saturation coverage of these tragedies by the lamestream media is triggering additional incidents.

The perpetrators are put under the microscope, and the details of their lives are splashed across the front page of newspapers, websites, and there are endless discussions about them on various TV programs. This is repeated every time.

Think about it: if you are teetering on the edge of the precipice, and want to go out in a blaze of glory/infamy, what's the best way to get the most attention, albeit posthumously?

The lamestream media is ENCOURAGING this behavior. And, they are doing it because people will watch/read their news coverage, and it will boost their ratings.

Don't misinterpret me: I'm not claiming the media is doing this with the explicit intention of encouraging more mass shootings. But, it's certainly a consequence of the media's behavior. They could modify their coverage to avoid this, but they haven't, and probably won't.

Responsible behavior by the media would include:

• Focus on the victims: the people that died, and the lives that were cut short, and their potential that was unfilled.
• Focus on the injured: how they are coping with their injuries, and how their life has changed.
• Focus on the heroes: the people that acted selflessly to protect others, and what they did to prevent further tragedy.
• Focus on the friends and family of the victims: what they will miss, and how they are coping. There's a fine line here -- the media should ask if they want to make a statement, but otherwise leave them alone.

The focus on the perpetrator has to stop. Identify him, list his crimes (as if he was still alive), and that's it. Don't talk to his family, his friends, or anyone else. Don't give him a platform to express his grievances, posthumously.
