Every time some lunatic with a gun goes on a killing spree, the media do all they can to pour kerosene on this ever-growing wildfire of cultural madness by glorifying the little weasel responsible for the mayhem as a “gunman.” The pathetic losers lurking in the bowels of civilized society are thereby emboldened by the fantasy of a rugged macho gunfighter holding off the world with his powerful weaponry and perhaps perishing in a hail of valiant gunfire. Each news story serves only to fan the sick, demented emotional flames leading to the next one.
If only the media would stop bowing to the ironclad journalistic protocol of restricting themselves to nonjudgmental, “objective” labels and call such vermin for what they are: subhuman lice who are such abject failures at life that they must deprive those who actually deserve to be called human the chance to live. Instead of the semi-romanticized “gunman,” they should describe the perpetrator in the most humiliating terms we can devise: insects, rodents or some other term appropriate to nonhuman waste. Just describing them as excrement would imply that they are on the same level as human feces, a status far above their actual moral rank.
Do not allow such pathetic, miserable wretches to imagine that, after their death, they will be glorified by semi-heroic terms such as “gunman.” We must make them understand that, for the crime of senselessly destroying innocent lives, they will be universally regarded as the most cowardly excuses for a human being as ever walked the earth.
