Kirkwood, Missouri: "The City Hall Massacre"

This is a very difficult story to write, because it is not a just another story, but an ongoing tragic event that seems to occur at least once a month in town across the USA.

This one hit's close to home. Not a witness to the event just one guy who watches the news. I grew up near Kirkwood, Mo. I know this town, it's faces and places. Law enforcement a year ago captured a per, for a kidnapping one which was unsolved for five years. Five years it is said that the victim of a kidnapping "lived" and "breathed" and was sodomized by his captor. The "sodomize" resided in Kirkwood and kept his victim there.

In Kirkwood there is a section called Meechim Park. I had deliberately spelled Meechim wrong because many ignored it's existence or knew it was there. Now five people are dead, and in a sense the survivors of the murderer are dead too. Living with this will never be forgotten, by the survivors directly. Media suggested that everyone slaughtered at this meeting new the shooter. It is ironic of the "knowing of the shooter."

Media suggests racial overtones between the shooter, strangely nicknamed "Cookie."

It seemed highly unusual that the media continued to show the murderer Cookie, with a smiling face. One newspaper pictured him with his victims of the shooting.

For once, it should become clear that these shootings and similar ones like these are not done by smiling suspects. No way should the suspect be profiled as much as the victims of a rampage.

By the way the cops were forced to kill "Cookie" at the scene. The headlines could had written the truth minus the color of the shooter and the color of the victims. How is this? "One Lone Gunman Kills Five Unarmed People." or "One man's Tyranny and Cowardice Kills Five unarmed people?"

Media keeps on with "Healing Time" and Racial Tension. Why is it that after a massacre like this people want to unite, or would? Why is it that "unification" happens as a result of violence. Why does the media interpret sometimes so wrong?

Why is it that most editorials in newspapers with regard to there view remain unsigned?
