There's no reason to not believe this kind of valuing children who are murdered on some perception of their value, it's pretty much the common belief among such as work at the New York Times. I doubt he was any more likely to see people except in those terms when he worked at the Washington Post or the Hartford Current. He worked at the Valley News - as did my one professional journalist ex-in-law. And he's won all kinds of journalism prizes, including being part of a group Pulitzer award.
Though I'm letting him stand for this attitude which is not uncommon among people in journalism, I'm not singling him out, he did that all by himself.
Well then, maybe we have our answer to the question of just how many dead kids it will take to get some gun control: at least 1 rich kid.
ReplyDeleteIt did occur to me that if it were elite private schools getting shot up they'd probably be demanding gun control and confiscation and basically the entire gun industry induced paranoid program. Black helicopters would be part of it.
