      Research is clear by now: the intense, sensationalized attention on faces and words of individual mass shooters is inspiring future ones.

      US mass killers show no coherent ideological pattern to individual motivations. One thinks he's "Joker"; another thinks he's waging "Jihad".

      US-style mass shootings are a chronic problem; intense focus on individualizing each incident helps further the cycle by inspiring copycats.

      Don't put the face, name & manifestos of murderers on loop. Do focus on US mass-shooting chronic problem, join a Pride march, donate blood.

      The Orlando shooter called 911 pledging allegiance to ISIS and mentioned the Boston bombers, a U.S. official tells CNN.

      There is a large LGBT Syrian refugee community in Istanbul now, btw. First gay victims of ISIS were Syrians. Tried to flee but were trapped.

          STOP USING HIS SELFIES. Don't let the #Pulse killer tell the story on his own terms. We *know* this inspires copycats. It's 2016. We know.

          Yeah, after the Paris and Brussels attacks, newspapers ran daily features about every.single.victim. It was powerful.
