We need to highlight the shooters and make sure that people realize why they commited their crimes. If lack of love, attention, compassion, etc. is the reason, then people need to become aware of that so that they will be encouraged to treat others (especially those who they believe are in the risk zone) with more compassion. Simply saying, "Fuck all these stupid shooters!" will not work as an effective way of discouraging future potential shooters from commiting these crimes. They will just say, "Well, fuck you too." |
Perhaps I was being too harsh, but I've always hated how the media thrusts spotlight on these people. It just shows troubled people that they have an easy outlet to get attention. I guess because I have little faith in the US media reporting on non-sensational topics or actually taking responsibility for being part of the problem, I'd rather them just stay quiet instead.
