"Overwhelmingly, they (psychologists) said the video should not have been broadcast. Their reasons ranged from the threat of copycat violence to the possible stigmatization of those with mental health problems:" (ABC news)

Thats what I was talking about - what I was concerned about

And the lack of respect for the families and those who had passed

yeah, I was pretty surprised when I heard some stations intended to air the video. I think it was totally unnecessary and inappropriate for numerous reasons. I think the media in general have lost site of what is appropriate...instead they are more concerned with ratings, and some sick sense of authority. It just adds so much insult to injury. Its a shame in the truest sense of the word.
