I'm going to tell you a personal story which has a moral...

I want to state at the outset that if you are excessively squeamish, you may not want to read this post. In no way shape or form am I intending to upset anyone, but I believe this needs to be said out loud and I have wanted to make this point online for ages.

When I was in school and took a pathology course, which, of course is required, one day a forensic pathologist came to lecture us and showed slides of his work. He was involved with the Connecticut state police, and obviously saw every conceivable result of accidents, suicides, and assorted other horrifying moments in our civilization.

There were two photographs which I will never ever be able to get out of my mind: the first was a man who hung himself in a storage closet, and was not found for many weeks. His lower body separated from his neck and most of his spinal cord. So there in the photo were his torso and legs splayed out on the ground and the noose around a rotting neck and purple head in awful state of decomposition, suspended in the air above.

The second photo was of a woman who had been run over by a truck which on it description does not sound so bad except this truck tire ran over her head alone and squashed it flat. Words alone cannot describe the horrifying scene.

This is why in my opinion, the photos of these poor people murdered in shopping malls, schools, religious institutions, and anywhere else by high-powered weaponry, or even traditional methods of killing people, should be shown in print media and on television, because I believe that it would move the needle sufficiently that the masses would think twice about voting for candidates who do not want to restrict weapons at all whatsoever.

Many people say, “something has to be done”, and this in my opinion this is exactly what has to be done.

These stupid stories are manic

It might be important to have a point. (Cue SVPete and his graphics)

Seems as if the PC Janitor is acting like the old man who will talk your ear off at the bar telling you stories but none ever make any damn sense.

Something needs to be done!!!!!!

Oh!!  The HORROR!!!

If his point was that people don't "get" shootings unless they see pictures of the carnage, then why would he object to pictures of aborted babies, so that people "get" what abortion does? If it weren't for double-standards ...

[Old n Grumpy]

You nailed it Sv they are fine with abortion as long as a baby is referred to as a clump of cells and they don’t have to look at it

That does seem to have been their point.

The problem for them is, their anecdotes didn't actually demonstrate that. They were shown some graphic photos of deceased people. They showed no evidence that this made anyone more averse to those things.

So basically watched a popular 80's VHS tape called Faces of Death.

I was waiting for the "moral" to be "orange man bad". Somehow PCnut left that out.

And his tale actually reminds me, of Drivers Ed, way back in the day. We got to see either slides or film of car wrecks. The idea being to show you the dangers of drunk driving, etc.

Hmm. Maybe "Health Class" needs to come back. They can show abortion photos.

[franksolich]

I agree with my good friend and ally; such photographs of gunned-down victims should be placed in prominent places so as to advertise the gories of murder.

As also should be photographs of victims of murder by means other than firearms--beatings, stabbings, explosions, poison, whatnot--and those murdered by the abortion profiteers behind closed doors.

Post them all; let us constantly be reminded of what sort of society we are, where Jugs from Minnesota and the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive have no less blood on their hands.

The Chicago Tribune would have to add a whole new Sunday section.

Quit reading right then and there. A DUmbass DUchebag has no idea what a moral or morality is... NONE.

Does anyone have a handy link to that CalPiggy thread with her poem regarding her "aching seed"?

[SVPete]

PCIntern should have garnered at least one Post Report for daring to speak to DU-folk about morals.

PCtard is the future victim image of a gaping mouth while her welfare trash murders her in the streets of leftist mayhem.
