I think the press glorifies the bad - the sensation...what will get ratings.

Which is why you hear little of this hero from italy - or of Muslims who rebuked the terrorists or terrorism in general - or anything that isn't sensationalist. They want they big story - the violence and the bad - the same as what most of America sadly craves.

err, True Romance was a movie

another cinematic reference: this guy just lost all he ever had and all he ever would've had

. . . and he had to watch it coming

he risked it all to buy a house to start a family and his mother never got a chance to talk him out of it

another cinematic reference: we need to be making the other poor bastards (our enemy) die for their cause
