Demand an end to the glorification of violence!




I can't believe it's Christmas Eve and instead of celebrating the joy of the season, we are mourning the loss of brave firefighters ambushed in another senseless shooting in Webster, NY. 

Violence is eating our country, and it must be stopped. It's past time to demand that the entertainment and video game industries stop glorifying violence. If they won't clean up their own act, we citizens should press for congress to treat glorification of violence in films, on TV, and in video games like child pornography. Do we need to make it a criminal offense to produce,  promote, or possess mass murder as entertainment? I know that sounds extreme, but are you willing to accept this ongoing massacre?

In this video, a group of Hollywood stars lecture about responsibility to stop violence, but they lack the strength to look at themselves, because they know where their bread and butter come from.   

It would be amazing if the day after Christmas; retailers were inundated with a reverse holiday rush of parents returning unopened packages of violent video games like Assassin's Creed.

Share this if you agree it's time to demand a plan that starts with the entertainment industry.
