The Dark Knight Massacre

This morning when I heard the news of the tragedy that took place today I was horrified. The first thing that ran through my head was "my god, me and my younger siblings frequent the movie theatre together often, something like this could happen anywhere at anytime and if it did would I be prepared to take a bullet to the head for my little sister or brother? If it did, would I have been able to hide my siblings underneath the seats somehow? Would I have been able to keep us safe in the line of fire? All kinds of questions started to go through my head. Then reality struck. I went to ustream and watched a live news covering from a station in Colorado. The first interview I saw was from a woman who had was talking about her grizzly experience inside of Theatre 9. She told the news reporter how she had come across a man who had been shot and how she wanted to try to save him but if she did there was a chance that she would have been shot herself so she chose to leave him there. The next interview came from a man who said he saw a 14 year old girl dead on the stairs on the theatre. I started to get all of these horrible visions in my head and I decided to exit out of ustream. I did not want to hear anymore about it.

I called my mother to ask her if she had heard the news. She told me that there was coverage all morning long. "he shot a two year old girl point blank". As soon as these words left my mothers mouth I just wanted to cry. I can not even IMAGINE what kind of sick fuck would kill an innocent little child.   She then brought forth to my knowledge that a blame game had already begun! Of corse! As usual, every time there is a mass murdering the media has to step outside of it's job. Instead of reporting the basic facts and covering the news the way THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO they instead start to try to find someone to point their grubby finger at in order to stir up more of a story. My mom told me that Rush Limbaugh and the tea party were blamed because there happened to be a James Holmes that was registered under the tea party in Denver. The media later apologized for this speculation.  Rightly so, they also at first failed to mention that there were several James Holmes on that list and none of them was the actual James Holmes. So who is going to get the blame next?  The director of the film? Christian Bale? Batman? The Joker? The late Heat Ledger? DC Comics?

The media always wants to find out EVERY single detail about the killer as soon as possible. Everyone watching the story being covered anxiously awaits for a photo to be shown of the criminal, People want to know what he did for a living, what his hobbies were, what movies or music he enjoyed, They want to know all of these useless details and to be honest I have no clue why. To me the news was painting this guy out to be some sort of anti-hero from a movie. A celebrity if you will. This is nothing new of course. Thirteen years ago in the same exact town we saw the same exact thing with Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris. Everyone blamed the Matrix and violent video games for what they did. The finger somehow got pointed to Marylin Manson even thought both boys hated his music and were fans of KMDM and other industrial bands of the like. A few years later Micheal Moore made a little movie that attacked the NRA and the right to bare arms. Everyone wants to blame a tragedy on everyone and EVERYTHING except for the person who is solely responsible, the killer himself. Why is this? Why do we feel the need to find the reason behind what some maniac like Holmes did? Does this 24 year old man not have a mind of his own? surely he does if he was smart enough to boobie trap his apartment and plan out a massacre on such a grand scale. Why are we looking to the tea party to blame for his actions when it was not even a solid fact that he was a member? Why do we have to try to find some sort of influence for his actions? This man is obviously a lunatic and deranged. Any one can see that from his actions.

I am just taken aback by how sloppily the media has covered this story and also I am overwhelmed to see how many rumors and hoaxes came out of this story through social media. I have heard all sorts of things online and I do not believe any of them because I know how that goes. Any dumbass living in his mothers basement with  internet access can say whatever they want online and BAM the next thing you know their tweet or blog post as been read by half a million people and everyone takes their words as facts.  The internet can be a very dangerous thing when covering news when you think about it.

People are still bringing up the age old argument of "if guns were illegal these things would cease to continue". What people do not understand is that these sorts of things will happen and continue to happen in the future no matter what kind of laws you make. People have been killing people through out human history, even before gun powder was concocted thousands of years ago in China. If someone wants to commit a crime badly enough they will find a way to do it gun laws or none. Dylan and eric got guns because they had an older friend of theirs buy them guns. They themselves did not purchase the guns. They also made their own bombs. Taking away guns is not going to solve anything. Human beings are violent in nature and this is never going to change no many how many times you sign a bill into law.

I think what America needs to do right now is to remember the people who lost their lives today and to support the families who lost their loved ones and to pray for those who were injured. The news should no longer tell anymore details about Holmes because in doing so they are only glorifying him. We need to take the time to remind ourselves not to take life for granted and also not to be afraid of anything after events like this happen. I was going to go see the Batman movie tonight but my mother told me she did not want me to go. I told her "look nothing is going to happen, I am not going to live my life in fear because of what some lunatic did last night, he wants people to be afraid, that is why he did it." I decided not to go after all tonight (not out of fear by the way) but I do plan on seeing it maybe sometime next week. I do not know if I am going to be able to watch it without getting emotional during the shootout scene however.

The movie theatre is a place where people go to escape from their every day stresses and worries for a couple of hours, a place where people like to forget about whatever they are going through, to escape the horrors of life. It saddens me so much that someone did something like this to a bunch of people who were waiting for months for this movie to come out. There were kids there. KIDS.  That to me is what makes this story so heartbreaking. People went to go see this movie in order to watch the story of a hero, yet none of them had any clue that they themselves would end up walking away heroes that night by aiding the wounded out of the theatre.

My Face My Choice.

If it is one thing that I can NOT STAND it is when a guy tells me that I should not wear make up because he hates the way girls look with make up. If you hate the way girls look with make up well then that is your problem not mine! I like to wear makeup because it makes me feel pretty and girl like and I also love applying it and finding new ways to apply it and new looks as well. I sometimes spend hours online looking up new products or window shopping on MAC'S website for different eyeshadows. I think guys have this idea that girls who wear make up are not confident or that they are trying to hide something. While yes sometimes that is true it is not always the case with everyone. I am not going to sit here and type away a bunch of lies. I do also wear make up because I like to cover up my flaws. However that is not the MAIN reason i wear it.

I am just really tried of seeing guys (and some girls) posting  up this STUPID picture online.

Ok first off let's get real. I am pretty sure anonymous homeboy in a galaxy far far away made this little meme as a way to get some booty. Let's not kid ourselves here. I mean it's pretty obvious that he wants to be known as that "sensitive caring guy" who is so in tune with his feminine side and genuinely cares about a girls feelings and all of that b.s. Not saying that there is a chance that he can not REALLY feel this way. I mean maybe he does. But  regardless I HATE this picture because it is painting a bad picture of girls who like make up and nice clothes. I am pretty sure that there are TONS of girls who do not wear make up and nice clothes because they are insecure. I am so sick of this bullshit that is being spread online all of the time. It is the same as saying to a guy "Hey guys you don't be insecure! There is no need to buy a nice car or wear nice clothes or taking showers and brushing your teeth! YOU ARE ALL HOT!" I mean really...

So guys let's get this straight. NOT ALL GIRLS WHO WEAR MAKE UP AND DRESS NICE ARE INSECURE! PLEASE STOP THINKING THAT. It's my face, so it's my choice! If I want to wear tons of make up so be it! If i want to buy a 2,000 pair of Alexander Mcqueen so be it! (chya right I wish I had that kind of money). I should not have to look to you for approval on ANYTHING that I do.

There was actually this guy that I was talking to two years ago online. We never met in person (thank god for that) actually but he sure did make a lot of assumptions about me that were things he could totally not tell for sure unless he new me in real life. Basically me and him got along until he starts to call me shallow. I asked him why he thought this of me and the first thing that came out of his mouth was "you wear too much make up, my ex heather used to wear eyeliner when she would go to places like the grocery store and I could not stand it!" He went on to tell me how I am too concerned with makeup and fancy clothes and how he did not like that part of me. The part that liked to be girly. We finally stopped speaking to one another because I could not take his constant criticism. That and uh.. he got back with this ex. Truth is it would not have worked out anyway because I would NEVER be with someone who wants to dictate the way I dress and make myself up. He would always complain about my facebook pictures and how I looked way better when was not wearing any make up (joke was on him because I am ALWAYS wearing make up in my pictures even when it looks like I am not wearing any).

Look the point that I am trying to make here guys is that you should be respectful of a girls choice to wear as little or as much make up as she wants to. You telling us that we are insecure because of the way we dress is NOT being respectful and it certainly does not make us feel good. So please choose your words more wisely and stop making stupid memes!

Daniel Tosh is a Dickhead!

Before I start to comment on this incident I would like to make it known that I have no clue who this guy is. I do not watch television and as a matter of fact I do not even own a television. I prefer to waste my time on the internet. Mainly because most of what I have seen on television in the past has managed to do everything BUT entertain me. Rather it usually pisses me off because I can not fathom how stupid society has actually become. I mean really, is this what our society had come down to? Adoring comedians who make vulgar "jokes" and idolizing women such as Jwow and Snookie? It's really pathetic when you think about it. Down right sad state of affairs actually.

That being said....

When I saw the name Daniel Tosh trending on twitter this week I decided to click on his name to find out who he was and what he did wrong or what he did right. As we all know you only become a trending topic if you either a. offended someone, b. died, or c, had a sex tape released to the public or d) saved a child from a burning building.  I pretty much had a good idea that choice c was not the case here.

Needless to say when I found out what this man said to a "heckler" ( I prefer to call her a brave woman) I was disgusted and very disturbed. I honestly wanted to write a letter to this guy and explain to him what a joke is. A joke is something that is funny. There is NOTHING funny about a women who is being forced against her will to engage in an intimate act such as sex. If I had it my way all rapists would not even be sent to jail, they would be tortured and then killed. Especially those that rape children and virgins or child virgins (teens) . No one deserves to have their virginity taken away from them by some sick fuck! It is often hard for people to empathize of course because in order to empathize one must have had gone through the same exact situation. But honestly someone in the crowd besides this woman should have stood up to this stupid fuck for making rape jokes! People should be more sympathetic towards each other. I mean I am sure there was probably someone in the crowd that had been sexually assaulted and possibly raped. You can't just go around saying things like this when you are a public figure! . Especially one who's fan base consists of mostly males. I have a few "famous" friends and acquaintances and I can tell you first hand that their are some crazy fucking fans out there in this world that will act on things that they hear their "heroes" say and even mimic some of the things they do. I do not think people really understand that. Daniel Tosh is a immature and irresponsible person if you ask me. The following statement came directly from Tosh's victim.

“Tosh then starts making some very generalizing, declarative statements about rape jokes always being funny… I yelled out, “Actually, rape jokes are never funny!”

… After I called out to him, Tosh paused for a moment. Then, he says, “Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her…” and I, completely stunned and finding it hard to process what was happening but knowing i needed to get out of there, immediately nudged my friend, who was also completely stunned, and we high-tailed it out of there.”




I am sorry but you have to be a completely ignorant person to think that this is ok to say. What he said was NOT a joke it was a provoking statement if you ask me. Of course there are tons of people supporting Tosh (not really shocking to me since this world is filled with people who are desperate for attention online so they decide to support the bad guys in order to get a rise out of people). I have seen several people online pull out the freedom of speech card. These people honestly have no clue about what sorts of speech the first amendment covers. So here is a little fiy for all of you who feel asleep in government class or were too busy doodling pictures of perverted cartoons in your notebook.  THE FIRST AMENDMENT STATES THAT FREEDOM OF SPEECH DOES NOT INCLUDE ADVOCACY OF ILLEGAL ACTIONS, FIGHTING WORDS, OBSCENITY OR COMMERCIAL SPEECH!  Tosh is guilty of three of these things. In my opinion he was provoking violence against this young woman. What if one of the members of the crowd would have taken his "joke" (if you can even call it that) literally that night and raped her? Like I said Daniel Tosh is not a man. He is a irresponsible little boy trapped inside a 37 year old mans body. 


Another stupid statement I have seen on Tumblr blogs and twitter alike is "It's ok he makes fun of everyone." Saying that it would be funny if a girl got raped is not "making fun" of her. Making fun of her would have included a personal insult such as "oh my god that girl looks like a beaver her teeth are FUCKING HUGE". Remember when Michael Richards called one of his hecklers a nigger? Remember how EVERYONE was boycotting him and making a big fucking scandal over that? Why are people not making a big deal over this whole Daniel Tosh thing?  The only people who are making a big deal of it are women from what I have seen so far. Actually, I know a few women who are supporting him! I don't understand that at all!  Kramer actually had to apologize to people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton on television! Has Tosh make a highly publicized apology over the airwaves yet to women? I know he has apologized for the incident via twitter and has ordered that all of the rape jokes are to be taken out of the pilot of some shitty show of his that is going to air sometime soon, but to me that is not enough. If he had any sense of self decency he would resign from being a comedian and go live in a hole for a few years until he realizes how fucked up he is.  If you ask me his apology does not even seem sincere. Which leads me to another question entirely, is hateful and violent speech against women more excepted in society today than racial slurs? How long does it take for certain things to all of a sudden become unacceptable in society?
