that tape is not news, it is the taunting and glorification of a disgusting act and its victims.
you know, i think you're right. i've watched this a few times, and i've got to say i think that kid is a hero, a true martyr. in fact, im going to the gun store as soon as class is over today and im gonna get me one. i haven't decided how im going to make my statement and be famous yet, but i will figure that out over the weekend. i just wanna be famous like cho.

most know his name, and can certainly recognize him, yet almost no one can name a victim or knows their name. this always happens and certainly is not knew to this case. but i do think that is some level, or form, of glorification.
That's paranoia talking on your part.
i am not paranoid, just pointing out that one reason someone would make a tape and send it to major media is to further taunt the victims and others, and even if that is not an intended cause of his tape, it certainly is what has happened.
You're among that same group of people that thinks the media is trying to extort guilt out of it's viewers by submitting the troubled biography of the killer.
um, dead wrong. nice try though, assumption is quite easy i guess. i feel no guilt or sympathy towards him. there is absolutely no excuse for his actions. i am big fan of self responsibility
People are trying to understand what the hell happened, and the media certainly takes advantage of that, but I think you're making yourself a sideshow victim of media overkill with your viewpoint.
i am no victim of the media, and i am no victim in this situation. i just choose not to do what he wanted me to do, i dont watch his lunacy. thats all.
This is media here, this message board. However you feel about NBC putting it out there, it was going to come out sooner or or later. The sooner the better, I think.
i can only control my actions, so i choose not to fuel it or watch it.

who feels taunted? i dont know anyone who felt it was taunting. just a crazy kid ranting about his nonsense. have the victim's families told you they felt taunted by his video?

i can tell your an aspiring lawyer, you tend to have little empathy for the victims, and openly confess to being cold, and unemotional. you chose the right career path, trust me.
someone rapes my mother, makes a tape with his insane rants blaming women, my mother, and society for his rape, then he sends it to major media so it can be boaodcast all over the world. i think i would consider that some level of taunting me, or extension of the original crime. IMO.

You're identifying yourself with the killer whether you know it or not. You need to think more logically. There is no logical explanation for what he did. Stop trying to think that there is.

what the fuck are you talking about?
where did you get that i think there is a logiacl explanation?
there is always some people that try to make things more complicated than they really are.
a psycho kills 33 people, same psycho makes a tape and sends it to major media. major media plays right into his hands and airs it. members of the population then continue to play into his hand and watch it. victims families speak out and ask that the media stop showing the pics and videos. public outcry eventually gets major media to al least slow down with showing pics and video. i choose not to watch it, and find it disgusting that they showed it. period, end of story.
now have fun trying to twist that into me being a bad guy some how, or that i am illogical, or symptahyzing with the whacko, or that i am trying to logically explain the event? or perhaps you can be a really cold blooded asshole and ask "who cares?" (all of these have happened in the last 5 pages)

you think. but you don't know. id not consider that a taunt. id consider it a fucked up individual trying desperately to convince the world he was right when all he's doing is showing the world he was a fucked up individual. i have sympathy for the victims, the utmost sympathy. but i hardly think this is some sort of disgusting or unexpected tragedy. it's no more appalling than releasing the kid's written assignment or 24/7 on-site grilling of the very people who tried to save the victims before anyone even knew what was going on. there is so much to be offended by about this tragedy, i fail to see how releasing footage that provides some explanation of why the killer did what he did (cos he was fucking nuts) is so abhorrent. if you don't want to see it, don't watch it.

I don't question your idea if it was tasteful of NBC to do what it did, or how they did it, what I am questioning is what you followed that with.
And that was this:
i cant tell anyone what to do, but i personally refuse to watch this fucking psycho and his bullshit propaganda. dont feed his fire, dont do what he wanted, ignore the lunacy. do not feed into his circus. it is exactly what he wanted.
don't laugh...look at all the idiots on youtube mimicking the jackass video stunts putting themselves in the hospital...monkey see monkey do.
i think there might be a slight difference between people thinking it'd be fun to be the jackass stuntmen after seeing the show and people thinking they should start gunning down classmates becos it got one nut on tv.

true some assholes on here don't get the it i for one agree with your points fuck if the families said it was in bad taste for NBC to air the video that is good enough for me and obviously the majority of the viewing public agreess with your point it holds water .......

Statistics show there's always those select few that get a hard on for this type of thing. Promoting it in the news seeds the idea to make them feel "normal" as though other people are doing it and it is socially acceptable in a way, as society appears to be embracing it by wanting to read about it. Normal thought process does not apply to these individuals. We see one thing, they see something completely different.

so could it be...someone looking for answers could say...hey..i found my place in this society... even though its notorious...its still fame, and apparently it has a place in this society..why have all these angels...if there are no demons to test them...

Yes exactly. You have to think like and accommodate for the people that commit these crimes, which is near impossible for many. This is exactly why detectives profile criminals and serial killers endlessly in order to try to understand and stop them.
That is if anyone really wants to try to prevent or deter as much as possible this type of event from happening again...
You see... some people don't think. Not only that, but they're kinda adamant about their ignorance... I don't know what's worse.

Are you saying I have to watch this bullshit? How is watching a nutjob going to enhance my life?
If everywhere you look people are watching and talking about something because of the media how exactly does one manage to avoid being exposed to it again? Should I also avoid this forum apparently as well?
I don't understand the enhancing life part.

I think were a little mixed up. It seems from this thread that people are very upset at what the media has turned this into (me included). And my point is, if we stop watching it, perhaps the media will stop. haha, fat chance I know but I have to believe people are better than this.
And I'm not avoiding this issue. The internet is a big help in getting the facts.

u dont watch tv simple as that, i have yet to see the tape or photos and nor will i ever see them cause its just feeding into what he wants and everyone in the world is doing excatly that

Ultimately yes. I strongly agree with the philosophy that if you don't like it, don't watch it. I cringe at people incapable of clicking their remote crying out for censorship like they are helpless. I just think the media has taken it a little too far in this case, and is acting irresponsibly.
It's the freaks that love this stuff (and ultimately that may do the same) that will not turn the TV to get a buzz off it that worries me.
These are the things the media should keep in mind when they bombard the public with something like this.

It's all good man. We're all a little frustrated and angry that this happened. Some of this sentiment spills out to others unintentionally. Were all good people here.
