Hell, I don't know August, but something needs to give because it doesn't work now.

In the long term we need to stop glorifying these crimes. Both in the way we report on them and the way we promote bloody vengeance as a solution to life's injustices. Like 99% of action movies have that exact plot, a reflection of the concepts popularity. There are parts of our society so twisted that they even see these monsters as heroes to be admired and maybe emulated. We grew these people. Our culture is creating these monsters. We need to find a way to stop doing that.

Yes, August. Definitely need to stop the publicity. Most people are curious and like to read about these events, myself included, and we collectively need to stifle the attention these events get.
