Thread: Warner Brothers Movie - the JOKER shoots a woman right in the head. How cool is that?

Is it just me, or do you not see any women being shot in the head in this video? Certainly not at 3:15 where the joker lets go of Rachel.

EDIT: Okay, so I'm not the only one that noticed this.

The title of this thread is based upon something that completely did not happen. Very nice!

We can hardly eliminate villains as a response to this, though. The best measures of prevention begin at home, with friends and family. No one should be allowed to develop along such dark lines and be left alone to stew. Again, though, this can't always be dealt with. Ultimately, we are facing something that is in a way unstoppable and unpreventable. People have been killing one another since prehistory - it's an unfortunate part of who we are. You can't stop it by any means. We're not all alike, either - there are those among us who are simply rotten, perhaps a bad combination of genetics and upbringing. We can be vigilant and we can arm ourselves, but in the end we can't hope to prevent all such crimes, to stop all such killers before they kill. We can certainly try, though, and I think we should all strive to do so.

We can and should insist that it be toned down. What we're doing as a society is dehumanizing human beings, by the time a kid reaches high school, he's seen thousands of killings, heard thousands of sexual innuendos, and through rap and rock music has probably heard graphic discriptions of rape and cop killing. Then if you go to video games, not only is he witness to thousands of killings, he's a participant. He's actively attempting to kill people with automatic rifles. So when you marinate a child's brain in the idea that murder is entertainment, that people are cannon fodder, and then the child is actively asked to "play the killer" with real looking people, they see it as a potential solution.

I won't say never watch TV, but it's really not good to have kids grow up thinking that problems are best solved by killing people
