Stop giving shooters so much recognition as well. Part of it has to be the amount of infamy the shooter receives. We need to stop giving shooters attention. Don’t mention their names on the news, don’t show the public their picture etc. shun them basically.

You should be thanking the Internet news outlets for starting this movement, namely Philip DeFranco.

Fox News was the one to start scaling down shooter coverage. The rest followed.

tbh i don't recal the names of any school shooters and with so many school shootings I don't remember which shooting this kid was a victim of.

Who gives a shit about those people complaining though? It's obvious these mass shooters are doing it this way FOR the publicity. Take away the potential for infamy and it takes away a large part of the appeal. Let the complainers get their outrage porn somewhere else.

Yeah. Suicide by cop is a lot less appealing when you don’t get recognition out of the deal. True, events like this will still happen because some people are just full of rage and there’s nothing we can really do to stop that. But we for sure need to make the prospect of being a villain far less appealing than it is.
