i'm so sick of the media down playing or hyping up news.
one of my friend's best friend died because a car crash on new year's eve. instead of instilling the facts that this guy was a fantastic person, never let anyone down, and was headed on the right track again, the media makes sure that you know that he was charged on counts of DWI, DWI as a minor, reckless driving, and so on and so forth. as a news journalist, i am apalled at the insensitivity of these reports. Not to mention how they exploit the night of his fatal crash like that. "District Attorney so-and-so stated that the charges on Fisher were dropped".... well, so that means that if he LIVED you were going to STILL charge him on all those counts? so, you don't think that the experience, trauma, and the fact that he probably would have been paralyzed for life wasn't punishment enough??? what the hell is WRONG with our world. we'll charge a DIEING man who made a big mistake with all the counts in the world, be we DAMN sure have to remember the rights of terrorists who deserve fair trials because they decided that genocide is the cool thing to do. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH OUR SYSTEM!!
please kids, don't do something that will kill yourself. i don't want to rant about how media exploits good people in this world anymore than you want to hear it. think smart, and david fisher was a great guy. i met him a few times, and yes, he had a problem, but damnit, i don't want to lose anyone else.
