No Name. No Photo. No Notoriety.

IT’S A MATTER OF PUBLIC SAFETY

The quest for notoriety and infamy is a well known motivating factor in rampage mass killings and violent copycat crimes. In an effort to reduce future tragedies, we CHALLENGE THE MEDIA – calling for RESPONSIBLE MEDIA COVERAGE FOR THE SAKE OF PUBLIC SAFETY when reporting on individuals who commit or attempt acts of rampage mass violence thereby depriving violent like minded individuals the media celebrity and media spotlight they so crave.

Just because naming names doesn't affect YOU, doesn't mean it doesn't affect future shooters.
