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

This is so sad. We've given up on solutions but our wrong-headed response may well further this horrible cycle.pic.twitter.com/S7VYhyx8AF

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.

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.

Sad and to see many news outlets have led with the killer's selfie. We are providing a roadmap—"seeds of ideation"—for next one. Bad cycle.

If France, another "lone wolf" murdered a couple then broadcast on Facebook Live. Every news story about it I found leads with that selfie.

At this rate, we are going to have a "lone wolf" murder someone *on* Facebook live. School/rampage shooting mentality and ISIS have merged.
