Those shootings were, to say the least, awful. At least we don't have to watch that guy's trials on every channel...I guess. My cousin is taking classes at VA Tech next fall, so family members are kinda up in the air. Then again, stuff like that can happen anywhere. It's a risk you take by being alive.
Yes, the media just drives me crazy! Always looking for blame. A friend of mine recently had a problem in her home, which involved one of her daughters, and the arrest of somebody. It was very upsetting for her. Well, the media came to her door with no warning at all, wanting an interview. She was very ill. The next day on the news, they blamed the problem on "the neglect and uncaring of the mother" and they practically pin blame to her, just because she was upset.
It is wrong.
