24/7/365 media coverage is to blame, IMHO. It’s giving all those nuts a way to go out in a “blaze of glory”.
I think you’re onto something. I agree.

Too sadly true. Wouldn't it be nice if, for the first 48 hours after something like this happened, they never even gave the name of the perp. I never even knew the CT killer's name until I read it here, on FB yesterday. I frankly didn't WANT to know anything about him, and there are too many mentally ill, or unhinged folks out there ready to be copycats.
The networks are so hot to trot about being able to brag that they were 'first with the story', they put a lot of misinformation out there that causes confusion and mistrust, when it turns out they were wrong. It takes them almost 48 hours to get the story straight, anyway, so spending that time finding out the truth would be better than giving the killer all that press.
