Stop Making Murderers Famous

I truly hoped to never release this video, but unfortunately and unsurprisingly... here we are, as coverage starts to emerge of yet another incident.

Let's leave the legacy of these stories to the people who matter.

"Research conducted at Arizona State University found "that killings that receive national or international media attention do indeed inspire similar events a significant fraction of the time."

"The researchers did a statistical analysis of 176 mass shooting events in the U.S. from 2006 to 2011 and 220 school shootings between 1997 and 2013. They discovered that mass shootings were significantly more likely to occur if another shooting that received national media coverage took place in the previous 13 days -- a finding that suggests that mass shootings tend to cluster together in a similar manner to suicides." — Source: Study Published in PLOS ONE

After studying 160 “active shooter” events over the past decade, with access to information beyond what the public knows, Andre Simons, of the F.B.I.’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, concluded that “the copycat phenomenon is real.” When the F.B.I. report summarizing the research was released in 2014, he said: “We think we’re seeing more compromised, marginalized individuals who are seeking inspiration from those past attacks.” — Source: NY Times
