Columbine: Whose Fault Is It?

     The main idea in this article talking about the hypocrisy that can lead to journalists and opportunists playing the blame game.  The essay was structured very well, in my opinion. I liked how it seemed he was talking to a whole group instead of just one or two people. Manson made it seem like he was talking to a big audience. Manson used evidence such as from the bible and how Cain killed Abel, all the way to how the civil war wasn't civil at all.  I think this essay was the one the one that I found most convincing because of how he would always go back to how we as humans have a hunger for violence that is insatiable. I learned that Manson thought that the controversialists would always try to find another version for situation or entertainment might be. I thought it was interesting how he said that many people wanted to interview him after he was blamed for the influencing of the Columbine Massacre, but he never did an interview or anything. Manson just kept living his life not wanting to feed into the glam of the media's blame game or things like that. Whereas my beliefs on the topic didn't really change, I thought that he made a very good point in saying that the media for violence is all over and never hidden. It was also nice to read from a different aspect on Columbine, and how he mentioned that the boys didn't like music but he was still blamed for impacting  their lives through music.
