Let me start by saying this is one of the most horrible things I can imagine. My heart goes out to all of those in some way affected by this tragedy.
I wonder, though, if the sensationalism of the media actually fuels this kind of activity. I heard one network state that this was the 2nd worst mass killing behind Virginia Tech. How long will it be before someone tries to break the record? Why does NBC news need to spend the entire 1/2 hour of news talking about it, then an additional "special report" after that? Granted, it's news, but how much can you, or need you, say about it? Who knows what really motivates these sick, sick, sick people. But could the glory of all the press coverage be part of it?
Maybe it's time to get back to reporting the news instead of entertaining with the news.
