No More Fame for Mass Murder

Yeah, because people who go on mass murders are looking for fame and power.

Yeah. It's not that they're mentally ill, need help, or are lashing back out on their community for the pain they've incurred from it. It's because they're looking for fame.

What a joke.

A mass shooting occurred today by an unknown person. Don't worry, authorities are rounding up people with similar profiles for extra surveillance/interrogation.

> Petition the United States Congress to enact a law prohibiting the publication or revelation of either name or identity of mass murderers.

I agree with the principle of not encouraging fame-seekers to mass-murder, by making making such murders a sure path to fame, but this is a blatant violation of the First Amendment and the principle of free speech.

We need to figure out how to instill a sense of decency in the mass media.

I notice there's no actually penalty being advocated for the words they'd be banning.

While a noble idea, this seems quite incompatible with the first amendment.
