Stop Giving Mass Shooters the Celebrity They Crave

First there was Columbine, then Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook, then there was Fort Hood followed by Chattanooga, and then there was Aurora, CO followed by Lafayette, LA. The pattern of copycat mass shootings is clear, but what is less obvious is how the media has been inadvertently inspiring, rewarding and encouraging these shooters. Mass shootings can be racially motivated, as Charleston was, or senseless acts of horror as at Sandy Hook Elementary. What often links these brutal acts is the desire of the shooter to obtain wide recognition and infamy in the press. Assassins and killers such as Lee Harvey Oswald and Charles Manson quite often have delusions of grandeur and desires for national recognition. The Columbine shooters fantasized about having a film made about them by Steven Spielberg or Quentin Tarantino. For them, the quickest route to notoriety is committing a heinous crime. Why must we indulge them and provide them with the fame that they desire?

The names that we should be remembering are the names of the victims, not the killer. We should keep the memories of those who were killed alive, and deliberately eliminate the name of their killer from our collective memories.

Press reports have any number of synonyms at their disposal (shooter, alleged killer, perpetrator, etc.), but they do not need to report his name. Such a shift in media policies would serve multiple purposes. First, it would deny the killer his 15 minutes of fame. Second, it could reduce the rate of mass shootings and copycat killings. Third, it would protect the accused as innocent until proven guilty. And finally, it would spare the immediate family of the perpetrator from the humiliation and pain of public scrutiny.

There are some who would argue that the media is highly competitive and so the names will be inevitably disclosed. However, if the major news outlets uniformly and voluntarily decide that they will not name mass shooters, those smaller outlets will not provide the perpetrators with the notoriety they want.

Others will state that the First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press, and the public has a right to know. I agree with the first half of that statement, but not the second. There is a difference between a desire to know and a right to know. Currently, news outlets usually do not name rape victims without their consent even when they have that information due to the desire of the victim for privacy. The NIH and CDC have issued media guidelines for how to report on teen suicides, since media reports on teen suicides often lead to copycat suicides. In the case of mass shootings, the public benefit of depriving mass shooters of the incentive of gaining celebrity outweighs the prurient interests of learning all of the details of the mass killer's life.
Recently, a Canadian news outlet refrained from divulging the name of a mass shooter for the reason that they would "not help give this killer his blaze of glory."

I would not object to showing images of the killer posing with a gun or a Confederate flag when there is a legitimate interest in showing racist motives. But that would reveal his identity only to those who would already recognize him. It would still deny the shooter the knowledge that his name will linger on the Internet forever.

So I am calling on all major news media outlets to refrain from naming the next mass shooter who comes along, because we all know another killer will undoubtedly come. Perhaps by removing the chance that they can satisfy their twisted desires, fewer innocent lives will be lost.

"It was not about notoriety, it was not about hatred. It was about the delusion," attorney Tamara Brady said.

"The stressors triggered his psychosis, the psychosis caused him to be delusional, and come up with this plan to shoot people in this theater," she said. "No one has said that Mr. Holmes is malingering or faking or exaggerating psychiatric symptoms. He is indisputably mentally ill." Read more...

Miner Real Estate Team Outlines New HUD-1 Closing Process

Bob and Carrie Miner of Miner Real Estate Team today outlined the August 1st changes to the HUD-1 closing process, which will affect not only real estate professionals, but buyers and sellers, as well.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) August 01, 2015

According to the National Association of Realtors, the days of filling out the HUD-1 settlement form and getting a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) from the lender are winding down.

Bob and Carrie Miner explained that what this means is that, as of August 1, these forms in addition to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) disclosure form will no longer be used. Replacing them, according to the National Association of Realtors, are two new forms: the Closing Disclosure and the Loan Estimate.

The Miners went on to point out that more importantly for the buyers and sellers to know, there are also new rules for the closing procedure. One rule requires that all forms be ready three days prior to closing. The NAR is recommending individuals actually get everything ready seven days prior to closing, so when they go into the three-day period, individuals don’t have to make any changes, because making changes as the clock winds down comes with a cumbersome set of hurdles.

“What this means is the buyer/seller and the other settlement service providers, including the lender and title agent, are all under the gun to get everything squared away quicker and earlier than before,” the Miners said. “If last-minute changes are made, a new three-day waiting period kicks in, in some cases, which can delay closing. Ultimately, if everyone is on board and the real estate professional is ahead of the game, and understands the new closing process, all should be smooth sailing.”
