"I won’t give the troubled man who shot two Virginia journalists on live TV last week the attention he so richly craved by using his name in this column."
"I won’t name the troubled man who just got 12 life sentences for shooting people at a theater in Colorado ... I can write about these people without making them more famous."
"It’s time for the rest of the media to follow suit, and quit pretending that we’re just doing our jobs. We’re not. We’re turning mass shooters into superstars."
"I did that once; I was the Northwest Herald’s lead writer when a gunman opened fire in 2008 on a classroom at my alma mater, Northern Illinois University. I don’t want to be a mass shooter’s public relations flack." ... |

similar reasons as this demented chick: [their brand of] victim advocacy, donation$, fame, ideology, popularity, selling papers/advert time slots, etc...aggressively badgers her depressed boyfriend into committing suicide, then self-proclaims as mental health advocate...

"After his death, Carter became a self-proclaimed advocate for mental health.
She organized a fundraising tournament in Roy’s memory and posted on Facebook and Twitter about her attempts to save her boyfriend’s life.
“Even though I could not save my boyfriend’s life, I want to put myself out here to try to save as many other lives as possible,” she wrote on Facebook." |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
