I know many of us have strong feelings about gun control, myself included, but I'm going to resist discussing that -- at least for the moment.

The thing I'm more concerned about right now is the posthumous platform we keep providing for these mass killers. Psychologists say part of what motivates them is knowing that they're going to get the attention in death they felt cheated of in life. We need to quit providing it.

I'm not thinking about the ones who have already done their deeds. Sadly, it's too late to stop them. But there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, more of these ticking time-bombs out there right now watching how the media and the public react to these stories. They see the attention paid these losers. Yes, it's negative attention, but still attention. To an angry, lonely person with self-esteem issues, that's an enormously attractive thing.

We've got to quit focusing so much on these killers. I fear it's only breeding more of them.
