Considering what happened in Cologne Germany on new years eve.

Hiding these events from the news is like Jet fuel for the far right

Such stories should be reported because unlike most some on the left, I have not resigned myself to the idea that it is an acceptable by product of large scale muslim immigration to have weekly terrorist attacks in our major capitals.

Of course they should be reported, however a byproduct of that is that you are going to inspire copy cats inevitably. At this stage now monthly/weekly attacks are all but gaurunteed. Radical idelogy would not be able to spread this rapidly if not for the amount of attention it gets from media and unforuntately online radicalization. 

This attacker is a 50 year old man who been living in Sweden for a long time for example, he's not some Syrian immigrant let into the country. He probably saw on TV similar attacks and began to think "yeah I should do something like this".
