Naming names. I'm also for showing manifestos and social media accounts for the curious. I think showing the public the ACTUAL points of view and letting them make their own decisions on the possible motives of these killers rather than screaming "right winger" or "left winger" would do a few good things .
It would keep the media from forming this into whatever agenda they currently have. I've never been so tired of the news telling me what I should think or who I should hate or blame for this. Show me the info and I'll blame who I feel is responsible despite political ideology or race.
Elpasos manifesto is pretty telling of why he did it and who he was. Actually he gets pretty specific and predicted the medias response pretty accurately. Daytons social media account is also very telling of who he was. Not why he did it though. In the end I personally don't think these were RW gun culture people who did this. We know Dayton wasn't a RW'er. The guns were just an extension of their intention. They are/were sick people. I say show the world and let us decide.
