People who haven't seen all the evidence themselves have no right to an opinion on that stupid court case, scientifically. A "never forget" thing? I WANT to forget the YEARS that thing kept appearing in the news. I didn't hear about it the DAY the chase or whatever happened mind you, glad I didn't. That whole fiasco is something the news networks should be ashamed of. No, it is not worthy of remembrance. If you ask me, that whole thing should have been left to the courts.
Columbine... I didn't hear about it the DAY it happened. I heard about it a few days later. I do specifically recall that I thought it wasn't a new thing, but it was a different scale than any previous sort of attack. I do think America responded pretty badly after that. Kids started getting kicked out of school for no reason. Oh sure, "protect them", but think about the life of the kid you just ruined without any real justification.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
