Stunned and sickened by Colorado massacre | Letter

I am stunned, outraged and sickened by the massacre that took place in the Colorado move theater.  I took a communications class in college and the teacher's premise was that the culture contributed 50 percent to a criminal committing a crime.

I disagreed at the time. Now I agree.

I don't think it was written into the Constitution that we need to know the resume of the despicable killer and his or her video of how they planned it.

Our culture glamorized violence ant the people who commit crimes.
