"You know what the most messed up thing is about the Batman shooting is? He got exactly what he wanted from it. He did that shooting for the attention, for the glory. This world teaches you from the beginning that you are nothing, you have no worth and you will never become anything great. People think it's these violent movies that drive them off the edge but it's really the fact that they know that they will get the attention they drive for, they will become an Icon that people will remember for years to come. They finally became something because we let them become something. When columbine happened those kids became immortal and left their imprint on the world. The most worshiped people in this world are people that have became martyrs. Look at Micheal Jackson, around the time he died he was a joke in the public's eyes, when he died he became God like. The most worshiped man in this nation was a martyr and nobody would have given Jesus Christ any praise if he hadn't have died. If only this world would take some time to actually listen to one another while we're alive instead of waiting until we're dead or commit some violent act. The media along with the people are only showing everybody else that the only way to be heard is to kill, whether it's killing others or killing yourself. You know, Marylin Manson said this same thing 10 years ago when he was being blamed for columbine, though I doubt you even knew because nobody listened because Marylin Manson didn't kill someone or kill himself."

 

That's something I ranted about right after the aurora shooting.

100% truth!!!AMEN
