CNN publicizing the shooters name. Gotta make sure the shooters know they can be famous!

This is silly. Do you really think censoring shooter's names is going to do jack shit? Name the parkland shooter, or the Walmart shooter in Texas. I bet you can't. I know the average American can't.

This is an attractive idea because it gives us agency to punish these people somehow. We see them get wall-to-wall media coverage and incorrectly assume that's the motivation because it's hard to imagine shooting kids for any reason and the media coverage is the most available effect to us.

If that's not convincing, then just know that Tucker Carlson agrees with you.

Mate, same reason they demolished Hitler's house and dumped Bin Laden's body. The freaks will always worship the remnants.

Wiping these fuckwits off the face of the planet is the best thing you can do. They certainly enjoy being infamous and others admire them.

With the amount of them these days does it make a difference? I get the idea for sure, and when there were less of them it was easier and made some sense, but these days you may as well be plugging the hoover dam with bubble gum. Even if all the mainstream outlets didn't say the name, someone will.

I do hope for better, but I don't think not printing a name is going to help.

Probably not, but printing a name certainly doesn't help.
