“It’s because the media makes these sickos superstars.”

There are numerous aspects of social contagion throughout history. I wonder if these violent acts have a similar thing going on.

The 60’s and 70’s it was assassinations. With the later ones done for “fame”. Airplane hijackings later on. Bombings. Serial killers. Rican and white powder scares. We hardly hear of that stuff in the USA anymore.

Now it is mass shootings.
