Our society currently displays a tremendous reaction to mass shootings, especially when children are killed and injured. Yet, every weekend a dozen are killed in Chicago and it's not news worthy. I never see a thread lamenting the murders that occur in the inner cities.
Risk versus reward
Who knows what goes on in the mind of these mass killers? It seems the notoriety is the goal. Famous and infamous seems to be one and the same in their mind. They are famous for life. I believe if we take away the fame we take away their reward.
How to significantly reduce mass killings?
1. Stop putting their name on television, newspapers, social media, etc. We can cover the news and stop identifying the killer and giving them the fame they seek. End the publicity.
2. If the killer is found guilty in a court of law they receive the death sentence. Shockingly the average cost of executing a prisoner today is $1.25 million. Bring back the firing squad. Brutal killers should face a brutal ending.

The reason you do not hear about the many killings every weekend in our inner cities, is because it does not fit the narrative.
