Why I use that format is none of your business. Do not read my threads if it annoys so much.
I am going to say what I want to say because it is a totally unnecessary use to "format" because nobody is under any illusion as to who you are talking to. That is why the quote system exists, but if you want to be like that I will correct it when it concerns me.
Now to content, your whole premise of this thread is nonsense. News reporting might be a small reason as why some people commit heinous crimes like this but to call news reporters and news media ghouls because of that is errant nonsense.
That is your opinion. See this thread if my format is not too much for you to handle.[/B]

That is not an opinion, what I wrote is a fact, you may not like it but that does not make it any less real. And we are talking about it here because you raised that issue.
So how about that issue of you claiming it was the communists and socialists trying to end the death penalty because you clearly did not respond to that after I raised it because we can all be pretty certain that 45 percent of the US public is not communist or socialist. Good decent people regardless of their political views are opposed to the death penalty for all the right reasons, it does not prevent crime, it is not punishment it is exacting revenge on people, it is racist, it is way too expensive and INNOCENT people risk being executed. And even if only for the risk of executing even one single innocent person, the death penalty is totally morally unacceptable (on top of being racist also).
I could go into this but as it is totally off subject I am going to leave it at that if you don't mind.
But that said, I hope this 17 year old boy gets locked up for life for what he did. If for no other reason than out of sight and out of mind. Try his quickly (all the evidence is clear) and jail him for life. No appeals with death penalty stages and no more media attention for this sad sack of excrement (the shooter that is).
