Maybe what the American public needs is a little gore to snap them out of whatever trance is making them constantly vote for these disasters.

Look at how vanilla and sanitized 'mass shooting' news has become:

    Talking head: "Tonight another mass shooting. Over to our field correspondent..."
    Field reporter: "Thanks, Mike! Another terrible mass shooting."
    [Camera shows vague picture of a police car]
    Police officer: "There was another mass shooting. We came here. Things happened."
    [Camera shows SFW picture of a body bag that may or may not be on top of human-like form]
    Bystander: "Yup, I can tell you there was a shooting and I was scared."
    [Camera shows an ambulance]
    Talking Head: "Well, public, you're now informed. Back to beer commercials!"

Perhaps if they actually showed the brutal, gory aftermath of these things, we might stop supporting representatives who do their best to keep them happening.
