This story seems to have faded in the wake of events ad nauseam. We are all aware of Senor Luigi. However, most folks can’t recall the full name of the guy that allegedly Luigi gunned down. Mission accomplished.

    The media understands that giving him any exposure will make people think about his motives, and might generate similar acts from others. The best strategy to keep people from “looking up” instead of looking left/right is to not expose anyone to the idea.

      With that strategy, it makes you wonder why they relentlessly cover school shootings. (It could also be that they keep happening, and it’s actually different every time)

        They glorify mass shootings to perpetuate more mass shootings. There are many mass shooters who cite other mass shooters as their reason to do a mass shootings. A lot of independent groups no longer show names or say the name of the perpetrator, only their victims, as a result of that trend.

        Speaking of media coverage, notice how when an AR-15 is used they always state so, usually in the headline. A shooting with any other gun? Nah.

        Remember the vet who went nuts in Maine and murdered a bunch of people? I had to dig to find what weapon he used. It was an AR-10. Know what an AR-10 is? Most folks have never heard of one. (It’s basically an AR-15.)

        Now why in the world would our billionaire media owners want to turn our opinion against the best multipurpose rifle in the world?

        Anyway, what was the original post about?
