Would you have said the same thing about Mark Conditt? Or is there a difference? Should we talk about some murderers and not others? Was he a terrorist? Was she?

We know that reporting on a killer's identity and motives in detail encourages ideation in others. I think it's fine to talk about these people, but context is important.

In this case, it appears to be someone who was frustrated with a lack of social media attention; we should be careful in not rewarding her heinous act in a way that encourages a future shooter.

i think its more likely she was frustrated at losing payment, which could be completely separate from "social media attention".

She was getting plenty of attention.

She was not getting plenty of money.

Ignoring symptoms won't just magically fix the underlying problem

Good luck with that. The cat's out of the bag, and this may be the shot that was heard round the world.
