Yes, it sucks that some coward(s) would perpetrate such a heinously violent act on innocent bystanders for any reason. What that reason was matter not in the least. There is no reason possible to justify or explain such an act.
Regardless of their intentions, the massive amount of media coverage and publicity it is now receiving will do nothing more than promote more of the same type of acts in the future from anyone with a cause and a sick mind.
Does the public have a right to know what happened? Sure, once they get it all figured it out, make a statement and tell the story. But endless hours of media coverage, graphic photos and video, detailed rundowns on the injuries from the attending physicians, and speculation about who dunnit, or why, does nothing positive for anyone but those perpetrators .
Just because we believe in a free press doesn't mean that they (the media) have no moral responsibility to screen what they are reporting.
Then again, if the general public didn't have such a thirst for blood and sensational gore what the media is reporting wouldn't be effective and they would quit doing it.
So whose fault is it really? Where is the real sickness here? Is it the mental deficient that placed the bombs? Is it the media that unwittingly promotes and enables such bombers by giving them a world stage? Or is it the general population that gobbles up these spectacles with a voracious appetite?
Do you look at accidents when you drive by?
