    After every mass shooting there’s sermonizing about how media shouldn’t give excess publicity to the perpetrator because copycats, etc. But nothing ever changes. Maybe it’s time to admit that America will always be perversely fascinated by the people who commit gruesome actspic.twitter.com/q4mGU0wxqM

        It should be admitted insofar as the public appetite for information about perpetrators clearly seems to be overriding other considerations

        Agreed. We don't understand why this guy's photo has been published on the front pages of any news service anywhere. This is precisely what this very sick young man craved: "fame".

        When you've got whole TV channels dedicated to crime and 'Top 10 Serial Killers' programmes, like it was a billboard for music, something is not quite right.

        Or, you know, you could admit that nothing will change without popular public pressure 🤷🏼‍♂️ but that’s just me.

        I think it’s more likely that the agenda-driven media decides what content to offer and the public consumes and reacts accordingly.

        Excess publicity? They should get none at all. On principle. Could end up being even more effective than taking away their guns.

        too many to keep up with, they're too suburban, male, little-NAZI. none of them seem interesting, intellectual. most of them have been white? what about the poor urban kid getting shot by police and other kids? seems like the gun has made its mark on America. tl;dr

        Good grief. Maybe it’s time to admit that America is an open society that protects the free flow of information so people know what’s going on. You want to ban news about mass shootings too, because its just a perverse fascination and encourages copycats? Censorship creeps.
