I agree if mass shootings remained anonymous, there wouldn’t be incentive to do them.
If your name is not going to be broadcast or printed and your mug won’t be splashed in the media, its like a tree falling in the forest.
If you’re not going to become famous, why bother? That could deter a lot of mass killers hoping to get noticed.
Sure there is. It won’t deter anybody. Those who want to spill blood want to spill blood. Look at all the suicide bombers in the Mid East. They don’t get a bunch of press coverage, they still blow themselves and other people up. Some might want infamy, but what they want most is to kill.
