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.

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.
