I hope the media still has enough integrity, character, and conscience to honor those requests.
What's interesting is that a lot of people feel that all the publicity of what happened could fuel another type of shooting spree and maybe it can.
Perhaps what the media could do, if it ever felt inclined to exhibit any common sense, would be to focus on the victims and totally ignore any mention of the perp after the intial identification.
This is news and people care and want to help and should know what's going on, but it the spotlight was off the perp and his perversions, that just might help with these guys knowing they won't be going out in a blaze of glory but rather sink into oblivion.
I agree! The spotlight is always on the perp.
I don't suppose media could just stick to facts and maybe give us some background, some teaching, about the Amish community while respecting their privacy . . . ?
