Yeah ednbarby, it's definitely pretty disturbing. My biggest shock is not with the media in this circumstance (although it's definitely in poor taste for the media to repeatedly show images like that), but with the medical examiner. It amazes me that that particular moment wasn't handled with more professionalism and with greater care to guard a sensitive image like that from TV cameras. I mean of course he was covered... but, as far as I'm concerned it was way too graphic to be considered respectful.
Anyway...

As far as news/media coverage goes... I'm really curious to hear if some of "our" folks will start to make statements. Like Ang Lee or Proulx or Jake, other BBM people, etc. I really feel that it would be comforting and meaningful to hear from those folks. I'm sure they may not be ready to make statements right away. But, still I'll be interested to hear from them when they're ready.
