In the recent mall shooting, he wanted to end his life, took others, and wanted to be famous.

So instead of the meida -NOT- granting him his wish they give me exactly what he want

first images of him, now a a photo of the letter, what next a video and audio?

Does it not bother anyone else that they do this, sure it sells paper and gets web hits but blah, does it not set an example for wanaes and others who think it, if i go out i want to go out in style!

He doesnt get to revel in glory as it is...It's how the media works--top story=exposure. Think about it--they're not just going to ignore it.

At least he is infamous instead of just famous. And it is worth him being famous as long as the eight dead also get acknowledgement.

Whatever, dude, it's big news.

What, you want to let the wishes of killers dictate how you run your news outlet?

Hasn't the recent Gamespot controversy taught you ANYTHING?

Journalkistic credibility shouldn't be sold to the highest dollar.

But by that same logic, journaliists shouldn't ignore an important story just because one of the principle participants happened to be a total ass.

He wont be able to enjoy the fame, because he's probably rotting in a cesspit at this very moment. So if anything he just humiliated himself.

The media is so stupid! They think that people just FEED off of crime, violence, sex and rape, so they post all this crap until their ratings go down.

The media's influence can go to hell for all I care

what? the man said he didn't like murderers getting attention, then he contributes by making a post about a murderer. then this other man points out he did that and thereby powned him.

Nope. He talked about the event. He didn't talk about or even name the shooter. No ownage unless he was talking about the shooter.

The individual wanted to be famous....if no one is talking about him then he failed. He is not even named in this thread dude. There is a difference and I must say....

powned (confirmed) as they are two different things.;)

Logic is a wonderful thing to employ. The shooter wanted to be famous...he is not famous if no one is talking about HIM.....and only the event. Now if you don't understand the difference between the two it is pointless to continue stating the same thing. I made my point. You have not.

and besides if he helped make the even famous and not the killer, then by making the event famous more people will learn of the murderer anyway.

It's not learning about the killing that the shooter wanted. He wanted to be famous. Let's start here....do you understand what famous means? Now go back to the OP and tell me what you know about the person that committed the killings of a personal nature.

wow, I just argued on the internet, and as if that isn't bad enough, I lost. All I wanted to do to begin with was say powned (confirmed) to someone and in the process got myself powned (confirmed).

I still think it's sad how many murders are reported one the news today and help make it such a common thing. In Norway when someone is murdered or even suspected murdered it stays as a news story for almost 6 month and sometimes several years if there is a long investigation/trial. In America when someone is killed the best they can hope for is their 15 minutes of fame, and barely that.

I'll get you one day, and it will be powned (confirmed)
