Fine...be my guest and dilute the waters of an event the magnitude of
Columbine with the shooting of a mob boss on a SOAP OPERA by a doctor
who apparently has nothing better to do with his time than be a hit man.

your head in the sand about how offensive it is to those who are really
affected by events that have nothing to do with your over blown angst.
