V-Tech Killer Sought Fame

I was traveling when the news came out that the killer spent the two hours between his first murders & the massacre by preparing photos & a video to send to NBC.

So he committed the mass murder to obtain notoriety in death. And the media has given it to him. Sickening.

The FBI & police are now turning over every rock looking for clues to his behavior. A little late. And the press stories about that search spreads his name further. Why didn't they spend some time & effort trying to find him - a killer - after the first murder? Such as an all points bulletin & looking in the likely places, du'h ... on campus. I guess they don't bother looking for ordinary killers any more.

A proper societal response would be to do as much as possible to erase the killer's name & existence from the world. Feed his body to the vultures. No grave marker. People should shun anyone propagating his existence, especially press parasites. Any government investigations should be private & results kept on a no name basis, at least publicly. This response might actually prevent copy-cat massacres.
