    don’t give him fame. don’t mention his name, don’t post his pic, try not to talk about numbers to turn it into a “high score”. he is anonymous

      Absolutely. Adding infamy to this, or looking into their lives at all beyond the investigation only spurs on anyone who is on the edge for ruining their lives in exactly the same way. But… the media will always aim for the shocking headlines that get the views. Still. I’m with you.

      Just stumbled onto KimDracula the other day. Blew my mind. Their song “Make Me Famous” has the chorus;

      “Celebrity status, Just for murdering people, Now doesnt it feel too familiar”

      Such a fucked up world we live in. Especially America. I’m not sure the fame part of the equation is much of the motivation though, a mass shooting is more like a cry for help after all the shooter’s previous cries for help have been ignored.
