    Nobody likes to hear this but. These shooters are often motivated by posthumous infamy. Media coverage matters.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/27/opinion/the-virginia-shooter-wanted-fame-lets-not-give-it-to-him.html …

        If you're a troubled young man in the US, there is now a well-modeled path to "revenge" & posthumous infamy. Shoot up a place. It's a cycle.

        .@zeynep This argument always seems like victim shaming to me. We talked about the last time so this is our fault? I don't buy it.

        Why? Supported by a lot of research now; qualitative, FBI reports; quantitative analyses; similar patterns in analogous events.

        Don't put names, faces & manifestos of killers on loop; downplay attention on killer as individual. Focus on chronic pattern.

        .@nlowhim Focus on chronic problem; identify pattern; don't focus on individual killer—they're all unhinged in a million different ways.

        Conceptually, I would like to agree with you. But in practice, "focusing on the victims" becomes an excuse to whitewash root causes.

        .@leops1984 The root cause isn't whatever deranged motivation this particular individual dregs up. The motivations vary; pattern stays same.
