“Reducing Media-Induced Mass Killings” published in 2018, even more conclusive.
“Generalized imitation requires the presence of some model to prompt imitation, and we suggest media reporting methods as a prominent model inspiring future mass killings.” peoplespunditdaily.com/policy/2018/03…
In fact, not only are the media contagions for mass shooting events, studies suggest media-inspired events are MORE DEADLY than non-inspired events.
It makes sense.
More death = more coverage = more notoriety.
Knowing all that...
Knowing all that, who’s more despicable, the game-seeking sociopath who carries out the event for their cause or the fame-givers who cause them, also for their cause?
It’s a tough question when you consider only one of them is considered to be insane.
They’re both fanatical.

Both Robert and Nick brought A Games and did a good job, but I have to say this...
It's crazy to think the U.S. would be safer if Palestinians became a majority in Israel and controlled its nuclear arsenal. Especially if you think the Jewish lobby is a bigger threat.
It's nuts.
Few misnomers about the history of the Israeli nuclear weapons program.
British (uranium-235 in 59) and Norwegian (plutonium in 66, as well as Argentina selling them yellow-cake, fueled it.
Kennedy opposed it before their first operational nuclear weapon built in 1966.
And...
And after Israel ramped up their nuclear weapons program following the Six Day War in 1966, Richard Nixon told Prime Minister Golda Meir to "make no visible introduction of nuclear weapons or undertake a nuclear test program".
Most Trump supporters are not anti-immigration. That's a leftwing media talking point.
They are anti-illegal immigration, overwhelming immigration, and anti-family based immigration.
They're pro-legal immigration, manageable immigration and merit-based immigration.
No doubt there are some who want immigration moratoriums and that support probably will rise during times of complete lawlessness as we see now under @JoeBiden.
It's not unreasonable during city-sized waves.
But in normal conditions the prior tweet is a polling-supported fact.
That being said, under conditions that are NOT normal, such as these under @JoeBiden, it's not remotely a Trump-supporter only positions.
66.6% do not want any illegal immigration during a pandemic, and 59.9% oppose pathway in times of high unemployment.
I told you Frank Luntz’s focus groups are a scam, nothing but manipulation to push the views of his clients by passing them off as legitimate research.
But I thank the @DailyMail for confirming that via a former employe, for me.
P.S. As it stands now, poorly conducted media polls with a D+6 projection still can’t put @GovRonDeSantis behind. So, I’m not entirely sure where this willingness to fall on a rusty sword is coming from.
I’ll amend this statement when it is necessary. But for now, let me make this as clear as possible...
As the only person to poll Florida correctly since 2014, @GovRonDeSantis is NOT beatable. This is a fools errand. His support is not partisan by ID, age, race, etc.
Of all the invites we've sent out over the years to welcome outside review of our work, @PetrSvab of @EpochTimes is the only one who ever took us up on that offer.
The rest either smeared or were quiet in the face of the smear.
Speaking of smears, look at the trend on Twitter right now re: the Arizona audit, citing "some experts" who're "raising questions".
Bunk.
@kelliwardaz and @AZGOP invited everyone and anyone to participate in this audit. They refused B/C they wanted to have an excuse after it.
Funny how many of those classified as "experts" reversed themselves after years — even decades — of research on the impact of mail-in-voting re: fraud and turnout.
Simply have no principled positions. Might as well hang "For Sale" signs around their necks.
