        You may want to fax this to newsrooms because they aren't getting the message. Just another round of breathless coverage that scores mass shootings like sports.

        Let's just pause a moment to think about WHY there are "best practices" for covering mass shootings. #GunControlNow

        Disgusting that we have a mass shooting style guide. But here's another tip: Don't cover it like a natural disaster. It's 100% preventable.

        By not covering up, you're basically giving the next potential shooter inspiration

        But by all means call it terrorism, because what better exemplifies terrorism than indiscriminately firing rapid fire rounds into a crowd?

        Agreed, but the shooter should never be named. Not by msm or s/m. They want to be remembered and infamous. They should be denied that wish.

        Incorrect. Naming the person adds correct awareness to the perspective of present. As opposed to fictional or worse. #LasVegasShooting

        I don’t believe a 60 year old shoots into a crowd to be recognized or famous. Mentally ill person who needed help long before this happened

        Mentally ill people are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. This facile, false excuse contributes to stigma.

        I think it's pretty clear anyone who shoots people up is mentally ill but ok

        For day-to-day conversation, I'd agree. But when reporting for public, it's a term that carries specific weight and has specific diagnoses.

        I was talking in general. Anyone who murders people is not mentally healthy.

        And maybe we don't need to diagnose people online but maybe we should talk abt mental illness in general more than we do
