I am saying, we need to put a lid on the MEDIA reporting all these mental cases. This is all copycat shit, top to bottom, and they want nothing more than their 15 minutes of fame....which the news media is happy to provide.
It's a self feeding cycle. More gore, more body count, at a Mall or a school, front page, top of the news, breathlessly reported from the scene.
You think these mentally unbalanced wackos can't put two and two together?
We need something, a short report at the bottom of page 5, that's it! No "in-depth" talking to the sister crying her eyes out, his 8th grade teacher who swore what a good kid he was, etc etc etc.
Stop all that SHIT!
It's all copycat. This type of miscreant never had an original thought in their lifetime and never will. But they see all the attention when people are killed at the school and decide, "Wow, I'd love to get that kind of attention!"
And, so they do it and the damned MEDIA is the accomplice, and THEY should be damned to Hell for assisting crazy people to get the glory they would never get otherwise.
Enough of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER type of News Media. It is killing the culture, it's rotting the public institutions. That's all we talk about, on a daily basis.
I don't know how to stop it other than to STOP SENSATIONALIZING EVERY SHOOTING like it's World War Three!
This is perpetuated by the friggin' MEDIA and now, they are responsible! Stop reporting this shit!
