The most important thing: stop publicizing and glorifying the shooters. Every time a school shooter’s face and name are broadcast on the MSM, the prospective next school shooter is pushed a little closer to action, to give his life meaning.
The LE professionals will know who he is, for study, but the MSM should get out of the business of goading future school shooters to action. After the first 24 hours or so, the shooters’ faces should not be shown, or only pixilated, and their names should be replaced by “the Parkland monster” or something similar.
Take the instant personal fame out of the equation, and the motivation will drop to nil.
I've thought that the networks be required once a week to put up a National Cowards List of all these losers.
“Take the instant personal fame out of the equation, and the motivation will drop to nil.”
Unfortunately, social media allows the fame before they take their first shot.
