It occurs to me that the copy-cat nature of these crimes means that had the media not given the scumbag perpetrators any coverage, others would not be striving for their 15 minutes of fame as well.
Why not deny any media publicity to these events outside of their immeduiate communities? It really isn't a national story anyway.
Maybe we need media control? Does the First Amendment "people" differ from the Second?
