[quote=Anonymous]I understand it's the media's job to report on current events. But when the media gives so much coverage to the shooter, showing pictures etc., doesn't that provide motivation for other people to copycat? If they see how much "publicity" these criminals get, won't some deranged people commit similar acts in pursuit of the same "publicity"? I for one wish I didn't know about any of these people who have committed such terrible acts. But the fact that we as a collective society recognize names like Dylan Klebold, Eric Harris and Adam Lanza the same way we recognize names of athletes or actors is pretty sickening to me. Am I naive to think that incessant media coverage of these monsters provides even an inkling of motivation for others to commit heinous crimes?[/quote]
