Ginnie Graham commented on Ginnie Graham: Watch the school shooting videos
Keeping carnage from American eyes has been the long-held tradition in our media culture. I've changed my mind when it comes to this issue. The death toll is so high, yet, we never see it beyond crying family members. These videos put us there. It shows us just what this madness is like when…
