A New Chapter on the Columbine Shooting

I found this article about Columbine saying that there were a lot of false information being given out at the time. The article stated that police were just talking to reporters without actually knowing what was going on. Also, the article gave more information about the shooters as well. According to the article, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold was never bullied. Harris was suppose to be this great student but the people that were supposedly his friends, never invited Harris to ever hang out with them. While Harris was a good student, Klebold was suppose to be sudicidal and depressed. It's great that this information, if credible, is coming out now. But my question is, why wait ten years later to release this information. The families that were involved in this tragedy deserves to know everything about the situation if they desire to. You would figure that since the Columbine shooting was on live television that they would have told us the truth around that time frame. It's a shame that the families involved in this incident have to be reminded about the shooting and that they were being lied to for the past 10 years.

I want to take this time and say thank you all for taking the time and reading my blogs for the semester. I have enjoyed reading everybody's blogs as well.

Double Standard

Lately there seems to be a lot of National Football League players getting in trouble with the law. You really can't even turn the television to Espn without seeing someone getting in trouble. I know that it's Espn's job to report whats going on with the athletes but I think they tend to be unfair when it comes to how much exposure each athlete gets. I'm sure that all of you know who Adam Pacman Jones is. Jones has been in the news for almost 3 years now, after all those incidents he has had in the strip clubs. Jones has become the poster boy of the NFL. Jones have been arrested more than 3 times but he was just reinstated back into the league last year, which doesn't make sense. For the past 3 months, he hasn't been getting that much exposure. But before, you couldn't go 30 minutes without them talking about Pacman Jones. Next is Michael Vick, who went to jail for funding a dog fighting ring. Ever since he was sentenced, there has been pictures all over the internet with him training Scooby Doo to be vicious. Also, there has been several songs that have references about Michael Vick fighting dogs. And just like Pacman Jones, Vick stays on the television. Both Pacman Jones and Vick did some serious things but let's look at Matt Jones who was just released by the Jacksonville Jaguars not too long ago. Matt Jones was arrested by police for cutting and sniffing cocaine in his car I believe. Now we know that this is a very serious crime. But I can count how many times Espn did an actual story on Matt Jones. They barely ever talked about it. I love Espn but they should be fair when it comes to how long they cover a story.
