CBC news has made a management decision to not show much of anything from the documents received by NBC. The radio reported some of the contents and a few phrases. While the National news program showed quick glimpses of a couple of pics and they fanned through the papers. Apparently, they said there are studies which show that showing all that info could lead to copycat crimes and CBC management has decided to fall on the side of caution.
I think people should be more aware now though as there are still many people out there who are feeling the same as the person who committed this horrendous act. These people might feel motivated to act in a similar manner. I hope not but please be careful especially students.
What I have found to be very worrying is the fact that this person was diagnosed with mental illness. He was known to be a risk, yet our society still fails to recognize mental illness on the same level as cancer or heart disease. Depression, feelings of unacceptance, and similar disorders are a growing problem in our society and we have to start treating people seriously and not just throwthem back into the community with the feeling that they will be ok.
