Rampage at Virginia Tech

The article that i read is "Decision to broadcast US gunman video sparks controversy". Cho Seung-Hui,a Korean gunned down 32 students at Virginia Tech last week. The massacre shook the world dramatically. No one knew why the Korean fanatic did this. All we know is that Cho was an autistic and that he was extremely unhappy with the way his schoolmates treated him. After he gunned down 2 students in the hostel, he sent a package to NBC News and continued his rampage at Virginia Tech University. This article shows the public's opinions on the broadcasting of the video that the gunman sent and whether the NBC networks had crossed the line by airing the disturbing video.
NBC executives reportedly spent hours agonising over whether to broadcast the video and justified its broadcast in a statement that said the network would exercise restraint in how often it broadcast the material. Most of the public opposed the airing, saying that the airing didn't serve any purpose except to make them angry. The police commented on the broadcasting that the public should be shielded from these disturbing images. A former president of NBC News said that the public ought to have the information of the gunman and the decision to broadcast the video would be to publish, to allow people to see what kind of person the gunman was. He said of police comments that the public should have been shielded from such images.
In my opinion, i think that the NBC news should not have broadcasted the video. I feel that they have neglected the victim's families' feeling. They are adding to the trauma to the families. They should spare a thought for the people who wish to get over this incident as fast as possible. By airing the video, yes it did help to answer some people's curiousity but overall, it just terrorise the public with those disturbing images.
