If you are implying that because I complained about the media coverage of such events, I am not sympathetic to the teachers and children, I find your post offensive. The media reporting the name of the brother as the killer, along with his picture was extremely, irresponsible. The reporting of 6 to 10 year olds being among those killed, thus putting the parents of ten year olds into panic was irresponsible. These were media actions that were inconscionable and I simply pointed that out. That does not infer that they were equal to the acts of the shooter by any measure, but they were toubling. If you were responsible for some of those acts by the media, I find your apology wanting, and if not I find it insulting.
