We all know now that NBC has received something like 28 videos made by the savage/animal/barbarian/psycho who murdered people at Virginia Tech.
But all we have seen so far is a glimpse of 1 of his many videos.
Why isn't NBC releasing the rest of the videos?? What has this maniac said that they do not want the public to know??? What is in the 28 other videos???
Has the psycho made:
-Any religious-hatred statements (we know he was anti-Christian, but what else).
-Any anti-American statements.
-Any Islamic connection.
-Anything that could look South Koreans look bad and the media doeswn't want that??
I mean South Koreans are some of the most honorable people in Asia. This guy is a psycho and he does NOT represent the good people of South Korea.
NBC is currently releasing things like "the psycho was bullied in school" and everything else to make trhis guy look like "a poor mentally disabled person who was allowed by the evil government to buy guns". A totl cop-out from calling this guy a psycho murderor barbarian.
NBC, RELEASE ALL OF THE VIDEOS!! CUT THE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS CRAP AND LET'S GET THE FACTS!
America wants answers. And NBC is currently holding them all!
The FBI is already mad at NBC for releasing what little they have. And some people are already talking about how horrible it was for certain pictures taken by media on the day of the shooting to be published...and how horrible it was that the families might have to see the shooter on TV.
Please! 50 years ago newspapers published photos of dead bodies - UNCOVERED - and all kinds of stuff that they wouldn't dream of publishing now, much less putting it on the airwaves. Referring to the thread about certain horrible crimes that have gotten NO media attention....yes, media and the government are WAY more paranoid about publishing graphic photos. In a few cases it might be good, but I'd rather be offended than not be told anything. The public is not as insensitive as people think...nor is it as stupid, nor PC.
Whoa, whoa, NirvanaGuy...Points taken, and I totally agree that NBC is probably being, shall we say, "selective" about what they release...but some of the delay is probably tied to security/law enforcement reasons...let NBC hang themselves; when the whole story DOES come out, which we know it will, we can point out the obvious lack/delay of information. They just won't be able to keep some of the stuff you mention above a secret if it's there. I don't think the general public would even LET them try and hide this stuff; gotta be a mole in there somewhere!
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Nirvana-Guy again.
I was going to give you negative reputation for this post, but I can't.
Trying to make this into a terrorism issue is low class. You're a fearmonger. You're no better than an ambulance chaser. And what is most ironic is this statement, by you:

-Any religious-hatred statements
You've made many of them, yourself. You call anyone who is not a Christian a satanist.
"Trying to make this into a terrorism issue is low class. You're a fearmonger. You're no better than an ambulance chaser. And what is most ironic is this statement, by you..."
How is asking questions about what the media is or is not sharing with the public being a "fearmonger?" Stop the personal bashing.

He's implying this is a terrorist attack. That's just classless.
This is mor emy take... from my favorite, irreverent Football blog, profootballtalk.com

But one of our friends in the real media sent us an e-mail this morning asking whether we think NBC should not have aired the videos and photos of Mr. Cho that had been mailed to the network before he died.
We hadn't really thought about it, primarily because we only watch MSNBC. And they'd never raised the question.
Imagine that.
In our view, the stuff should have been handed to the cops and never mentioned on the air. Cho is urinating on the graves of his 32 victims, and NBC is enabling it.
It was, we believe, the ever-present lure to be "first" or "exclusive" that prompted NBC to make such a big splash. Only a day after Keith Olbermann explained on ESPN Radio that his Tuesday night edition of Countdown would not be completely devoted to the Virginia Tech tragedy because there is other news to be discussed (or something like that), Olbermann's entire show on Wednesday night focused on the event that has allowed NBC to inject itself directly into the story.
But this isn't journalism, folks. It's called opening the mail.
NBC News president Steve Capus (who has had more air time in the past week than Brian Williams) made a rash decision, and a bad decision. Apart from the issue of creating copycats, NBC is rubbing the murders in the faces of the friends and family of the victims.
It is wrong. The more we think about it, the more we believe it.
Hopefully, some of the same forces that ran Don Imus off of the air last week will lobby Russell Dalrymple (or whoever it is that runs the show over there) to give Capus the heave-ho, too. (While we're thinking of it, has Capus or anyone else within the executive wing been held accountable for allowing/leaving Imus on the air in the first place? It's not as if the I-man said something out of character.)
We sense that, over time, there will be a backlash against NBC. Down the road, the powers-that-be might realize that, by wrapping their arms (and legs) around the disturbing images and words of Mr. Cho, the network has acquired a stain that can't be washed off by the 24-hour news cycle.
Along those same lines, that stark "NBC NEWS" logo/advertisement that has been plastered onto the pictures will make it even harder for the network to eventually distance itself from Cho.
He's implying this is a terrorist attack. That's just classless.
Whether he is implying such a thing or not, what does "class" have to do with it?? This could, indeed, have been related somehow to what we classify as terrorism...why would it be "low class" to think it might be, even if NirvanaGuy might be jumping the gun here? Was it "classless" that some folks immediately thought the Ahmish school shooting was terrorist related?

Perhaps you are unaware of the religious hatred Nirvana-Guy has spewed in other threads. I will assume you are and that's why you don't see the origin of his comments. He made the terrorist comment because he hates Muslims and considers them to be satanists.
Does anyon else agree that Nirvana-Guy reeks of religious hatred?

I do think he has some religious issues.
