I fully blame the media for these mass shootings [View all]

You know why these sick bastards do this? It's because they've learned that the media will make sure NOBODY forgets their name and the story of their life. Just look at that Paddock guy who shot up Vegas. The media are still running stories on him and trying to figure out why he did it. That's EXACTLY what he wanted in all likelihood. He was a random loser nobody with gambling problems, and now he'll go down in history as one of the most infamous murderers in our nation. Suddenly everybody is examining his life and trying to learn everything they can about him. Same for Lanza, Holmes, Cho, Rodgers, and all the other sickos who do this. Seems like most of the people who do this are just losers who just want their name to be remembered for something, and the media give them their wish. This has all turned into some sick 'game' where these losers try to outdo the others and get the new 'high score'.
