The Media has Blood on its Hands in Florida Mass Murder

Another mass killing has taken place in the defenseless victim zone of a Florida high school in the Miami metropolitan area of Broward County.

The major media in this country has blood on its hands. They know that mass murderers are incentivized by media coverage that gives a form of immortality to the deranged killers. The pattern is clear.  Many of the killers are open about their desire for infamy. The Port Arther murderer asked his lawyer, again and again: “Did I break the record?”.

The media does not care how many innocents die because of their push for ratings and to further their agenda to disarm the population.

Once again, a disturbed teenager has become a copy-cat killer, following the narrative and fame the media has been pushing for a couple of decades.

These mass shootings come in clusters, as the killers are incentivized by the promise of fame the media provides, in their rush to push for restrictions on firearm ownership.

There are numerous ways the media can cover school shootings while providing little incentive for more school shooters. The media has been told, again and again, how it could be done.  Clayton Cramer wrote a paper on this in 1993.   It was published in the Journal of Mass Media Ethics, 9:1 [Winter 1993-94].  It won First Place, Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Ethics Prize, 1993, Undergraduate Division.The Copycat EffectThe Copycat Effect

The democrat mantra of “For the Children” is a fraud. All of these MSM intites are complicit with George Soros and his NWO overlords in order to dismantle the US Constitution and to turn the US into a socialist state. It can’t be more clear and connecting the dots is not that difficult. Where’s the public anger toward those who actually promulgate these FALSE FLAG mass murders of America’s school children?

Hollywood/Disney/Marvel have been working overtime lately in their efforts to glorify gun violence.

Agree these people are vile.

We cannot live with them peacefully.

I wish this was not the case.

Father, we pray......
