There’s been a few things which disappointed me in the last days in respect to the attack on London. The first time I heard about the explosions happened while I was updating the news of my daily reads, especially Der Spiegel had been my first must-read. But after that, I faced the consequences of the dilemma in London and simply expressed my first thought on this matter. Many people joined in the reportings, the media-coverage did it’s best, but after all, they were nothing else but Schadenbloggers. I’m somehow against these people who pick up their mobile phones and make disgusting images of injured, dead or dying people. Do they want to be captured by „snap happy, or slap happy, camera phone users“? I think not. That’s why I decided against any kind of coverage – and not just because I’ve not been in London to be a flickr camboy. What came next – here on the MikeSchnoor.com blog? Absolutely nothing.

I do not plan to sound cruel, but the entire scenario did not affect me. While surfacing the entirety of news magazines, websites and blogs, I began to realize that I was a careless prick. In this case, I still expressed my personal sorrow to those victims who died or were injured, but that’s been it. But why can one simply close himself off from this horrible incident?

I guess there’s been too much of it. I have the feeling that terrorist attacks are a daily coverage in the media. Back in 2001 the attack on the World Trade Center was a major impact, and still the bombings in Madrid and of course some major ones in the arabian area continously contributed to this impact-factor of terrorist attacks.

Now it was obvious to me and a few fellow students: After succeeding the nominations for the Olympic Games and while hosting the G8 Summit, the terrorist rat-pack had to do something to speak out loud again. Thanks for hearing you, but your time is over. I guess the more they do, the less people will care in the future. It’s not a prediction, but a serious problem for both them and us. But while the number of attacks increased, we will surely notice this lack of interest in any kind of emotional disturbance – such as fear.

Why should I fear the terrorists, come dear me. Simply let me unleash my boundaries and I will teach you a lesson that will teach you much more than you can imagine.
