Before there was Mass Communication, there were very few Mass Shooting (Texas Tower shooting at the University of Texas campus in the 1960s comes to mind as the exception...
Then the MEDIA has hyped Mass Shootings so that the shooter becomes a 'Rock Star'.
This is another very good reason to ban gun free zones and carry a weapon. Always.
Foreseen by QT in “Natural Born Killers.”
Yup. They won’t show someone running across the baseball field because they don’t want to award them the publicity or inspire copy-cats.
But, a mass shooting: that boosts their revenue and furthers their agenda, so TALLY-HO on the coverage!
For YEARS, I have said that these shootings should not be made public due to the press glorifying the coverage and encouraging more of the same.
IMO they are also responsible for the ‘cop killing ‘ epidemic that has swept the country.
By sensationalizing white cop v poor innocent black perp they’ve put a target on the backs of police.
Heck they are even dredging up Ferguson, MO. again.
How to Stop Mass Shootings Like El Paso and Dayton>
The whole video is great to watch, but if you want the nut of it, go to the second link below which takes you right to the part:
Scott Ott asks the question and Bill Whittle responds at 7 minutes in-direct link
Basically: Stop making celebrities out of them. It is what what the nutbags want. Now, to be clear, it serves the ends of the Leftists in general and the media in particular (they not only get to inflame emotions to get things they want like gun control, it also allows them to exploit the "if it bleeds it leads" thing and make money at the same time.
And this isn't just Bill Whittle saying this, as he explains in the video, this is people whose specialty is studying the mind of the people who do these things. They have been saying for years that even giving their name should be discouraged.
(NOTE: One thing to point out is that Scott Ott is no Leftist, he is set up in this forum they use to be the "Leftist" and it is his task to ask the question the way a Leftist would frame it...and he does such a good job at it that I have to keep reminding myself that is not who he is, he is an excellent conservative, but...he plays the part so well he occasionally irritates me until I remember he is playacting...something to keep in mind...:)
...and Corrupt/Stupid/INCOMPETENT politicians.
There's a pattern here. Millions of Americans don't seem to see it.
Hows this any different than making ‘rock stars’ of the mentally-deficient like AOC, of Traitors like Hillary, like that anti-semites Tlaib miscreant. and of liars/cheats/frauds like themselves who cant wait to spew their non-fact/illogic/contrivances/un-american opinions and smears of anything/anyone who doesn’t agree with THEM ???
BOYCOTT ALL THESE DETESTABLE LEFTARDS
