Not so disturbing, or funny, this time. Rather a decent idea, I think.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world was the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus. It was burned by Herostratus in 356 BC simply because he wanted to be famous. As punishment, the city decided to wipe out Herstratus' name. No one would ever know that Herostratus was the arsonist who burned down the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.
Apparently, this sort of deletion is harder than it looks.
The date (20th of the month), the location, and the M.O. bear such striking similarities to Columbine that it is highly probably that this evil man was hoping to acheive a higher body count than the Columbine pair.
He did not.
He will get a needle in his arm knowing that he was a “failure”.
Almost perfect justice.
Perfect justice would be total obscurity.
Mr. Mataz, the pupose of this post is to bookmark it for tomorrow and read the subsequent comments....can't wait!
Have a great night all!
I like the idea as a conceptual theory, but unfortunately, society doesn’t cooperate in such an ideal way.
The problem is this could unite the psychopaths into an underground clique who feed off each other’s legends. There will always be groups keeping these names and acquaintances revealing information. When 99% of society complies, the 1% band together to keep these legends(sic) alive and instead of being painted as just a nutjob, they now achieve a darker, mysterious, legendary status among others of like mind.
A Xerxes tyrannical enough to enforce this would not be tolerated today for other reasons, but a society stern enough to be united in the shaming would be helpful.
Ya know, when Barack Obama and Jay Carney were making a big deal about not mentioning the shooter’s name, they could have suggested it. You can bet the MSM would immediately kowtow. It would be maybe the best thing Barack Obama had done in his entire sorry loser career.
Another problem I have with this is that the psychopaths would have succeeded in changing society.
From an open and free society, we now have a society whose justice system extends to not only punishing the guilty, but controlling what the rest of society speaks of the crime.
Imagine the control needed to accomplish this.
Get the cops to know the people and the cops will find out who the schizo`s are really quick coz the neighbors will tell them who the strange freako`s are...
That`s what we do here plus we all have guns here and the cops know it and RESPECT US coz most of have shot a gun since we were 6...

You're dreaming or on drugs. It might be affecting your neurological sensors and differential. Please stop abusing yourself.
You know how the Roman gods died?
They were ignored by their people day after day, everyday until one day they were irrelevant and no longer remembered...
If they think there’s a good chance their plan will end in failure—as in, citizens with guns might be there—the sociopath won’t try it in the first place because failure is a narcissistic injury.
Unfortunately the gun-grabbers have a political objective to keep stories like these front and center.
First, all politicians and the media would have to be... eliminated.
We can’t even fight a war without these mutants leaking tactics and other critical information to our enemies.
That is an excellent idea which I have been advocating for 5 decades. Don’t give them what they want, the infamy. The hungry public, ourselves among it, won’t accept it. How many threads have we seen on the topic here? How many hungry vanities with unoriginal passing thoughts? Conventional wisdom, piles of cliches and banalities. The crowd screams for more. Remember: Blood on the tracks, or If I could stick a knife in my heart, Suicide right on stage, Would it be enough for your teenage lust, Would it help to ease the pain? Ease your brain?
It’s a pity, Laz, and I don’t know which is worse, the hunger of the perp or the hunger of the mob, the looky loos, the freeway accident voyeurs. The idea won’t fly, it’s under the bus!
Society could do with a not-to-be-racist blackout/shunning of all them. But there’s also the other motivation problem of those who live inside their heads who don’t desire glory, but seek power and ultimate control of others’ very existence; of course mainly ruled by extinguishing it. These sadistic nuts derive their jollies from the act itself irrespective of gaining fame, and, I reckon, are tougher to crack.
