the news.

"You should be ashamed of yourself. There are kids inside our school fearing for their lives right now. Terrified that someone's going to put a gun in their face and pull the trigger. And you want to know how I'm feeling? Our pain is not a commodity for you. It's not a news bit to boost your ratings, because tomorrow or the next day or the next week when we go back to school, changed forever by a day that will never leave us, where are you going to be? At the next tragedy thrusting your microphone in the face of the next fractured person asking them how they feel? Lady that is not journalism. You are not contributing anything to society. You are buzzards circling the carnage, but you prey on the living. That is how I'm feeling! But something tells me you're not going to air that."
