The picture is a wake up to reality. There are so many pictures of diasters as well as other things that have never been shown.
I'm just saying that it's not something people should be surprised about. Nor shocked. The people of the police departments, fire departments and various others see these same things happen where ever they are.
Am I saying that it's okay to place these pictures in a newspaper? I'm not sure. For myself personally, I have no problem with it. It brings a strong sense of reality to the unfortunate people that are there or where ever they are.
When you stop to think about it, how many times have you watched a TV show that displays murder victims or other such? No, it doesn't compare. It's fake. But, millions of people watch it anyways.
How many people slow down when they pass a accident or other such things? It's like George Carlin said, "Officer can you bring the body over here? My wife has never seen a dead body before!" I may not be putting exactly what he said, but the idea remains the same. Alot of people are nosy and want to see the "horrors".
Am I really making any sense? To myself... yes. To others? I haven't a clue. I would rather see the realism of what is happening. If it were my family in the picture, it wouldn't matter. I would be grieving too much to care about a picture. I would be too worried about trying to survive to the next day and providing for my child.
Do I seem a bit crude? Or even cold hearted? I hope not. Reality checks are needed for some people. For others, I'm sorry that some poeple don't think those pictures are right.
I usually stay out of threads since I don't feel that I add anything to them. But, I hope that people don't take me wrong and I apologize if I'm offensive in any way.
