That is like the video way back in like '03 of the beheading of the American. Still messed with me from time to time.
Oh I could never watch that. There's something about that specific act that makes my liberal arse go full on War hawk and want to burn down every one of them. Collateral damage be damned.

The fact that these murders are about to be politicized to all hell and immortalize the shooter makes me sick. Our country has a serious violence problem that we really need to face in a real manner. There's no room for nuance in today's world, just lots of instant black/white reactions. Nothing will get any better any time soon I don't think.

Ahh well that board is an echo chamber filled with low information screech owls

It manages the feat of being even worse than the TD poliboard, at least on some subjects
And the conservatives there are hella quick on that report button, you'll get banned just for being insufficiently civil (to people who are practically frothing at you)

TexAgs is the worst possible representation of A&M. Full of privileged shitkicker dickheads who have misinformed and terrible opinions. The last thing I need today is to see what those dolts have to say.

All in all, murder rates are actually on the decline.
In my mind, the current problem is the national media giving these psychopaths the platform and recognition they seek. The more clicks that video gets, the more that monster wins.
I think it seems like violence is quickly escalating because of how "flat" the world is today. 30 years ago we may have not even heard about this.

I also think there's a problem with how our national media reacts to shite like this. Am I the only one who doesn't think this story would be as big as it is if A) we didn't have a video of it and B) if a young white woman wasn't the one being gunned down?

The video made the story, sure.

A is why its so big. Someone was just killed on live TV. How many millions of people have watched that video today in just a few hours.

Personally, I'm fine with the coverage of the story...but I wish it was more along the lines of remembering the two reporters, instead of making the murderer famous. The only reason the guy shot the video is because he knew the national media would pick it up and run with it. He's getting what he wanted

Murder rates are down, sure. But people don't really care about murder rates when they perceive an increase in murders of "good/innocent" people
That's the problem.
and I really don't see a viable solution
