Those who study mass murderers tell us that one of the reasons the killers did what they did was to become famous. Just as a vandal who can't produce anything might have a sense of accomplishment by destroying someone else's work, an easy way to achieve fame is to commit some horrific crime. A loser will probably not be able to make a mark by doing something productive.
The media seems obsessed with events like the killing in Florida recently. There was non-stop coverage along with what must be obligatory -- full background, identity, and photo of the killer. Fame.
We can blame the main stream media for encouraging such behavior.
But here's one that falls on the Cook County, Illinois, jailer who released the video showing the scene described in Cook Co. jail inmates clap for suspect in cop’s fatal shooting. Way to go, jailer. Now any loser who wants to be a jailhouse hero knows how.
