Every single time
Every time, when the media posts pictures and names of murderers, they help create more copy cats.

I feel like this was an exception to the rule, since he was still at large for a while and it was imperative to the public safety that people knew who he was and what he looked like.
That said, yes, the media does need to pull back on publishing details about the killers in these situations.
At the time, maybe, but he's dead, no reason to keep parading the name and picture around anymore.
Fair
🤔 uhh ... Should I remove his name from the title of the post?
That's ok, I read it as Report Card anyway
What they need to do is start showing the bodies. Graphic photos. Everywhere we look we should see them.

Quit naming them in the titles! Just let their legacy evaporate.
There's definitely a lot of truth to what you're saying, but it seems like this overall effort is an attempt to shift attention away from gun control and focus on individual culpability.

These maga-cult psychos should kill themselves first and go on the killing spree second. Ban guns.
Until next time. Stay safe out there guys.
glad to hear that he's not at large - but it's unfortunate he wont be forced to stand trial and brought to justice for his crimes.
I'm fine with taxpayers not having to pay to jail him for decades.
I’m all for archive links and all, but what the fuck is this:
What a coward... I regret not being able to give him his day in court and hold him in a concrete box for the rest of his long life.
