Der Killer & Bild


I picked up a copy of Bild at lunch today (and made a picture of it, see above) because I was taken by the coverage of this event and the layout/content of this paper.

Germans are reacting to this tragedy with a kind of "I told you so" attitude. You don't have access to weapons here in Germany like that guy did (or so it appears). I'm not sure if that's good or bad, I'm conflicted. When things like this happen, I tend to be "German" on the gun control laws.

Moreover, I thought the "naked lady picture" (which is on every cover of Bild everyday) made a strange bottomfold image in relation to this event on the top; look at her "looking up" and "laughing". Weird and disorienting!
