“Manifesto?” My big fat ass . .

Filed under: Uncategorized — Badrose at 7:01 pm on Thursday, April 19, 2007

Sadly, I can’t name any of the victims of the Columbine High School tragedy . . . but I remember the names of the cowards who committed that heinous atrocity. . .

I can’t name any of the victims of the Oklahoma City Bombing . . . but I remember the name of the cowardly monster convicted and put to death for that almost unspeakable act . . .

Other than David Koresch, I can’t remember the names of the victims of the Waco, Texas massacre . . . but I remember the name of the attorney general who approved that attack . . .

I applaud FoxNews and other mainstream media outlets who have decided to stop airing the rantings of the cowardly murderer who shall not be named on this blog. It’s time to differentiate between the ramblings of a madman and a manifesto. I only hope that the airing of his vile “poop” hasn’t inspired other troubled, mentally ill, loner, sun-glass wearing, picked-on in high school, losers to follow suit. His meaningless opinions mean nothing to me. I would much rather be hearing the opinions, hopes, dreams and plans of the people he took from us . . . they matter . . . he does not.

Thanks for your post- My friends and I were talking about the news coverage after class today (we go to GMU), and we all thought that the use of the words “manifesto,” “massacre,” and some of the ways that NBC posted the video were more than a little wrong. One of my friends said that, to him, it seemed as if NBC was treating the video as some sort of “OMG Our ratings will go through the roof!” kind of thing, and it was tacky.

Hey Badrose. Curt and I feel so lost up here. We just wanna be there, at home, in Hokie Nation. It’s so hard to absorb any of this. I blogged tonight about it. First time I could express anything that had a smear of sense to it.

I agree, Genevieve. The “theme music” and graphics - it’s beginning to look more like a mini-series than news
coverage.

Wendi - I guess it’s sad everywhere right now but it would be nice if y’all were here. Come on down this weekend!

I’m gonna go read your post now . . .

Excellent point! I’ve never thought about that.. Typically you have to be a President for it to be the other way around, you remember the President was shot, but not the assasin….

mmmm PHAT :-)

I want to see that change, Spank. I’m ashamed that I can remember Squeaky Fromme but not the men who wrestled her to the ground.
