Seems like the more the news obsesses over these shootings the more of them we have. Do you see a pattern, maybe we should regulate the news coverage.

Why won't the news talk about that, they love to talk about how guns are the problem instead of people but they don't want to talk about how their giving these nutcases a platform contributes to the problem.

Freedom of the loosely named "press" is rather important in this country and is linked to free speech, so, as much as we might wish it, we can't rein them in.

I believe you are 100% correct...the constant shouting from the rooftops sets off one incident, and then another, like dominoes. It is stupid and completely irresponsible, but the news stations are in business to make money, and sensationalism makes money...blood money in some cases.
