Different Point of View
The week has been filled with commentary, prayers and hand wringing in the wake of the VT shooting.
Much of the commentary was made by folks who have no particular credential to comment on such things, but so goes the 24 hour news cycle.
If you can bare to read one more thing I would recommend Cinematic Clues To Understand The Slaughter by Steven Hunter.
Steven is a Pulitzer Prize winning writer on film critique and has written a number of novels based on violent characters (one of his books was the basis for the Mark Walberg vehicle “Shooter”).
The column is not alarmist about pop culture and doesn’t jump to any ridicules conclusions. It is just one more point of view as we try and understand what has happened.
