"Don't say his name" is not the actual recommendation though. The issue is sensationalized coverage & profiles.https://twitter.com/KateAurthur/status/650771227091472384 …

@zeynep@KateAurthur not sensationalizing takes pressure off people who make gun policy. Sensationalize away, I say.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@hwestiii@KateAurthur On the contrary. Focus on the victims. Otherwise it becomes about the killer's motives as if it is a singular event.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

@hwestiii@KateAurthur Sensationalizing the killer as if it's HIS unique set up makes gun control debate harder, becomes about spotting HIM.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@zeynep@KateAurthur fine. Keep their names out of it, but we can't pretend these aren't horrific events. Gun culture is killing the USA.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@hwestiii@KateAurthur No argument that these aren't horrific events. I just don't want it covered in the killer's terms. Wrong focus.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
