Tributes and Responses to the NIU Shooting

*artlmntl:iconartlmntl: reports, February 17, 2008
It's all over the news now, that on February 14, an otherwise well-liked 27-year-old man named Steven Kazmierczak walked onto the stage of an NIU lecture hall armed with four firearms including a 12-gauge shotgun. He opened fire on the students. The violence lasted a few minutes, but the killer ultimately ended five lives and wounded 16 other students before killing himself. Police recovered 48 brass shell casings and 6 shotgun shells.

DA is an international community, but some of us attend or are alumni of NIU. Others mourn the the lives lost to such a stupid, senseless, and shocking act of violence. As details emerge, it only gets worse. It seems the act was premeditated and carefully planned. It's only natural that DA members would post responses to the attack and tributes to the fallen. I decided to post some of them here.

How come there's such an uprise in school violence related to guns in the US? Are people angrier or is it because of a heavier focus by the national press?

It is most unfortunate and unexpected. Your tribute is powerful and deserves to be seen. All these works and the words that go with them should be seen and read. Hopefully, this article helps to make that happen.

Taking lives away like they are toys... despicable.

People who uses the fake excuses really is the worst. They don't dare to tell the truth, and covered it with more lies. If the one you lied to learned the truth, it'll be more painful than saying it right to the face from the beginning.
:iconphoto5newdude:
I don't think we can attribute the rise in school violence to one or a couple reasons. There are a number of different things that can cause a person to go over the edge. Psychological, medical, social problems can all have a detrimental effect on one and cause them to do horrible things. Some people can hide it better than others, as we're seeing with the NIU tragedy. The gunman was described as being kind hearted, mellow, funny, and peaceful. I think it's a number of different things that we have to keep an open mind and open eyes about it!

"ADAPT

-Val Mazzenga, (world renowned and award winning photojournalist)
:iconthornedvenom:
True, but you're just telling me about general personal motives which have been there for quite a while already. =) It does not explain the uprise attention, and that's what I'd like to know more about.


But I do agree that these tragedies do somehow remind us that our world/society still has flawed factors which still need fixing, and which are worth paying attention to.

:iconphoto5newdude:
Just my observation, I think the uprise in attention is due to the media and what evokes emotion, thus what gives ratings and if one can get a killer story on it and appeal it to their viewers, then they can in a sense increase their own status within the communications/journalism world. Being part of the media, it really sux that we capitalize on other peoples' misfortunes!!!
