Jam Master Jay KILLED
Jesus Fucking Christ What is happening? Where is all this evil and senselessness coming from?
I remember a period of time during college when it seemed like there was a lot of evil things going on in the world. This was the time of the Columbine school shootings. Things cleared up a while after that, but now the world seems to be in this state of constant fear and violence. People being killed by people who have no remorse and see no consequences of their actions. In this increasingly militaristic society, where kids grow up watching tv that shows them murder after murder but refuses to show them a little tit action, killing has gone from the ultimate sin to the ultimate ratings juicer. The glorification of war and murder, of drawn-out death scenes and John Woo shootouts, it all implies that in some situations, killing can be a wonderful thing to do. The Arizona nursing school shootings and the Beltway Sniper, and now this brutal slaying of Jam Master Jay in his own studio, almost makes me want to be a death penalty supporter. There needs to be a clear and serious danger to give someone a second thought before they kill someone. Increasingly these days though, there are too many people who feel no fear of the known consequences towards themselves and plan to take care of themselves anyway when they are done.
