If it's one thing that has been learned about mass shooters and preventing their copycats, it is that you do not give them front page headlines nor attention. Giving them their 15 minutes or more of fame simply draws others of a similar bent to seek their own headlines.
So of course, that's just what The Detroit News did today with not just a front page headline and a headshot, but also an entire in-depth article, including pictures and quotes from the sociopathic scumbag himself for a mass killing committed 8 years ago.
Thus the article and front page picture is reinforcing the perception among the less than mentally stable that the road to fame and fortune and media attention is to go out there and commit a mass killing.
Nice going there Detroit News, you idiots.
Was it a slow news-day today that led you to cast some chum around?

I really think the 24/7 news cycle has contributed to whack-job killer's actions. If you have nothing else why not grab your 15 minutes of fame?
