real life media violence

In TV alot of the first effect of media is demonstrated. With The news all we hear are tragedy after tragedy. That fear that you or some one you love could get hurt builds and builds. Then there are TV dramas like CSI's, NCIS's, Judging Amy,Law and Order's all of these shows deal with the fact that's there is some sob story behind every victim were there was abuse and violence. Then there are reality shows like COPS,Worlds Dumbest Criminals,Dog the Bounty Hunter, well those are "real".Like yesterday I was watching COPS and there was a bare naked guy high out of his mind trying to break into a day care center with a stolen police gun. If that doesn't make some mothers worry... i don't know what would. This man had supposedly snorted cocaine while watching some overly violent movie and thought he had to save the children or something. When i was a little kid my Friends Chris And Faith used to rent movies. One time they rented power rangers and we all watched it then went to the back yard. In the Back Yard there was spare broom handles and old pipes. Chris and i started "sword" fighting. He happened to have one of the thick pipes, and happened to be a rather stronger boy, a little older than me I was caught off guard then "THWACK" whoops my forehead. Luckily i wasn't really hurt. Later on in Childhood my brother had a similar incident. Watching teenage mutant ninja turtles and decided to ride the dog fight stuffed animals. Joe had a little less luck and fell off the dog on too his toy covered floor and got a Lego star-ship piece in the eye. But he's alright with 20/20 vision today.
