Look how Cho felt about Columbine. Would he have had that particular excuse/catalyst if the media had not covered that event the way it did? While I agree with what you're saying about the mental health system, maybe only legislators and mental health professionals should be seeing this film. For the general public, it's too much like bear baiting, gladiators, and other sick forms of "entertainment".
