Think back to Columbine and the media coverage was all about the 2 cowards that attacked unarmed people. They interviewed the shooters family, the media talked in detail about the shooters "goth" style, the media talked about how the shooters had planned the shooting. They made Eric Harris and Dylan Kielbold into villians and thus celebrities to other cowards. Did you hear much background info on the 13 killed or 21 injured? No, that would have taken away from Harris/ Kielbold's "fame".
We have to change the "draw" to these acts. All cowards desire to be thought of as powerfull, the media purports them as villains and gives them the attension they desire. Stop calling them anything than what they are: another coward that attacked unarmed people.

Actually thinking back on it there was press coverage on the students that were killed especially Cassie Bernell and Rachel Scott. There were accounts of the killers asking victims if they believed in GOD, if they said yes the killer replied "Then go be with him". There is some controversy surrounding these stories but in the immediate aftermath they were widely reported!
I remembered the Cassie Bernell story but I doubled checked my memory as the shooting occurred in 1999.
