Yeah, because people who go on mass murders are looking for fame and power.<p>Yeah. It's not that they're mentally ill, need help, or are lashing back out on their community for the pain they've incurred from it. It's because they're looking for fame.<p>What a joke.
A mass shooting occurred today by an unknown person. Don't worry, authorities are rounding up people with similar profiles for extra surveillance/interrogation.
> Petition the United States Congress to enact a law prohibiting the publication or revelation of either name or identity of mass murderers.<p>I agree with the principle of not encouraging fame-seekers to mass-murder, by making making such murders a sure path to fame, but this is a blatant violation of the First Amendment and the principle of free speech.<p>We need to figure out how to instill a sense of decency in the mass media.
