This is the easiest to fix. Pass a law that no TV or Newspapers can report the name of mass killers for 1 year after the event occurs. Sure, the name will still spread through blogs and social media, but it deprives them of fame they seek. Maybe this is unconstitutional, but perhaps this isn’t so much different than yelling fire in a crowded movie theater. Maybe.

The analogy you give fails, because it is only illegal to shout “Fire” in a crowded theater, if in fact there is no fire.

You are talking about prior restraint of the press, when all they are looking to do is report the truth.

You read about something “a couple of days ago” but have no link today. You’re full of conjecture excrement. You’re exactly the type of rube that MSM will depict (stereotype) as a gun-owner nut.

They’re careful not to implicate hunter and plinkers yet. But that’s a false-front. Every gun-owner will be cast as extreme.

So seriously, STFU with your lies. You’re not helping. There’s rage enough that can be directed positively. Your need for false-rage is self-serving, transparent and counterproductive.

By the way, did anyone see the video on CNN early that day of police removing a Bushmaster rifle from the trunk of his car which apparently happened before they changed the story to say he shot the kids with the Bushmaster, and instead found a shotgun in the trunk? I did not, but read online that that’s what happened.

What drives suicidal mass killers

The world may never know. Even after the thousands of thousand front-page articles and national TV news spectacles turning this pathetic loser into media sensation, we STILL have absolutely no clues as to why some attention-craving emo loser might decide to do something like this….

The third factor is the desire to acquire fame and glory through killing.

I think that the one thing that people have to really embrace is that there are just evil people out there. Monsters if you would.
….. just evil a-holes that don’t care about others.

Sure, sometimes that’s true. I believe the 9/11 hijackers were driven by evil. Adam Lanza? No…from all the info we’ve seen so far…it’s not sounding that way.
