Dear news media...
An open letter to all news media outlets:
Stop it. Just cut it out. Now.
Showing video and airing audio of that fucker, just glorifies a senseless act and serves NO useful purpose. It's a crime against the families of those who lost loved ones, and it's even dreadful to the lame-ass piece of shit's family -- who don't deserve any of the hate being directed their way. You are participating in the continued exploitation and terrorizing of tens of thousands of people.
A name was sufficient. A photo identifying him was enough. Seriously. That served a basic requirement of news value. Showing his videos and audio tracks, showing videos of him holding guns and dressed up like some wanna-be commando, is just fucking insensitive and downright cruel.
For once, just fucking do the right thing. Please.
