Ok, I can understand that this is a tradgy, but please don't bring it up on me. Columbine was much worse than this!! To the matter of fact, a similar shooting not only happened in CO last year, but in PA as well! But, that's my viewpoint on the whole thing. After all, I'm an Army Brat.

It's said OVER AND OVER AGAIN because it was tragic. No one had any idea it was going to happen and it was the biggest masacre in U.S. History. Many are saddened by this.
Cope and continue on with our lives...No offense, but that does sound harsh. Many people lost loved ones and although in the end that is what they will have to do, it's hard. It was unexpected. They never had a chance to say goodbye or anything. It's like being stuck in shock. You don't want to believe it and keep refusing to believe. It's going to take awhile for a lot of people to do that. To be frank, I still haven't done that with a few people I love who I have lost, and I think truely no one will.
Even though maybe YOU personally weren't changed by this, thousands of people are, and maybe if it's told OVER AND OVER perhaps people will change their ways and think to make this world a bit better. It might be a stretch, but I think many people were changed by this experence, including myself.

I know how you feel. It's as if they're saying "Hey! Incase you forgot or didn't hear it the last 10 times!". It's not that we aren't sympathetic, but what is the purpose of repeating the exact same stories? Are the networks trying to prove their "compassion" by the proportion to their coverage? Do the networks believe that our attention & compassion are equally short and thus we must be constantly reminded? To sound more cynical, or are the networks only interested in the rating this story brings by playing on the sensational aspect of it?
I say just report on any new findings but don't turn it into a 30-minute special by padding it with previous news of the incident.
