It is pretty sad that victims aren't able to mourn their loses, for example, the victims of the Columbine School shooting over 13 years ago. Hollywood is still obsessed with making money from the tragedy. The network Lifetime is proposing a mini-series about the tragic shootings. A former student who was in school the day 2 student gunned down 21 people has raised funds to make a documentary on the event. When he heard about the mini-series he was outraged that it would be based on actual events, but told by people he had never met. Soon more student started a petition to stop the TV show. Former students are outraged that Hollywood is doing this to make money, and worried that more copy cat shootings will occur. One student said she would be happy if it were a documentary used to educate and prevent future shootings.
I totally agree with these former students. Hollywood and Lifetime has no right to try to benefit from this tragedy. These people are living with the memory of Columbine everyday and there is no need to make a movie or mini-series to bring attention to probably the worst day of their lives. Every school violence incident is compared to Columbine, isn't that hurtful enough?
The article was very easy to read. It flowed well with a combination of facts and quotes. There was a lot of information from former Columbine students which gave the article reliability and connected the reader to the story.
