My first was in high school. One of my classmates was helping his dad tear down a wall and it collapsed on him. Or maybe it was my classmate's mom when she died in a car accident...can't remember

the first real wake and funeral I attended was my father's when I was 20.  I wish I had other experiences before it because I really didn't know enough of what to expect or how to handle it.

Taps what sad pictures. I don't like to see a lot of gory details. It seems most books one reads has to elaborate on somethings that appear distasteful. The age of the innocent has surely passed.

Crime does lead to big business for entertainment.

My mother forbid us to attend funerals. Like you, I was well into adulthood, possibly my 30s, before I went to a funeral. It helped that many family members were there, very much.

I like the criminal justice aspect, but share your concerns regarding exposing children to violence.

I like the detective stories, the "Law & Order" franchise, and like you

I'd prefer they leave the gory details to the imagination. The black & white movies were pretty avant garde in their day, now they seem more artful because of it.

I just think that movies and television series don't have to be so explicit. One never really saw the awfulness of a violent death, nor do I need to see and hear the screams of torture. It desensitizes the senses eventually, until it becomes less evil than what it is.

I like a good courtroom story.
