But we all know that's not going to happen.
The media is in the business of making a profit from sensationalizing tragedy. They feed the morbid curiosity of the public to know all the minute details of the story.
We have to explore other options. I don't profess to know the answers. The issues are complex with no simple solutions.
I'm still reading this kid's 140 page manifesto this afternoon - from the aforementioned curiosity factor. Trying to get a handle on what made this kid tick - to understand how the fuse was lit, from a psychology standpoint.
It's pretty messed up - and goes far deeper than the simple Youtube videos.
