Pictured here is the front page of today's Philly Inquirier, above the fold. This story is surely in a similar position in countless other daily papers across the country. Whether or not a photo of a critically or fatally wounded shooting victim should be included on the front page of a major newspaper is only of small concern to me. What I find disturbing is the collection of students in the background, not 3 feet from the body, in the process of also snapping photos using cell phones and a blackberry. Why? Some a$$ clown just murdered a bunch of people on the campus of the university at which you attend, and you want personal visual evidence? WTF is wrong with people?

Visual media is worth a thousand words! Maybe they just didn't feel like writing today and assumed the picture would make up for it.
Either that or they are in tune with todays litigious society and are just looking out for a mate.
as sick as that assumption is...
But I agree with you... The world is rapidly coming to an end :)
