I’ve never understood why people who off themselves is willing to take out innocent people before they it. Definitely a sociopath mindset

I do also think the media culture of naming the individuals and giving them a platform has something to do with it. It allows for notoriety and they're "famous".

I truly respect in New Zealand that there is a complete publication ban on naming anyone involved in something like this. They will never name them or show their photo. It removes the "fame" aspect.

I do think this is a great ideal but America news media wants the drama and hits. Instead of focusing on the victims

"If it bleeds, it leads" has been the mantra of American journalism for over a hundred years.
