Says a lot about our collective American values. What if every media outlet released the crime scene photos of every school shooting in Our recent history? Could that create motivation for positive change? I’m thinking of Emmett Till and his mother’s courage and pain and how that birthed the civil rights movement.

I'd like to see a study on that. How about pictures of lungs diseased by tobacco-caused cigarette smoke?
"The findings indicate that including both graphic visual warnings, such as those used in Canada, and warning statements currently used in the United States can decrease the perceived attractiveness of the package and create higher levels of negative affect, such as fear or anxiety. The results also show that the addition of the specific visual warnings examined to the U.S. statements increases smokers’ perceived intentions of quitting smoking compared with warning statements alone. The authors offer implications for public policy and public health and provide suggestions for further research."

Retraumatizing people is not an effective strategy.

Apparently, use of graphic images is controversial. But IMHO, some of the controversy is ginned up by the still-wealthy tobacco industry.
