i think it was mentioned in canpol, they caught the shithead in london with a helmet on. was he wearing a gopro or something?

I heard helmet and vest/tactical gear and they caught him at the mall next to a really big mosque that's been targeted before so I assume he was heading there. I didn't hear if he had guns or anything but he drove there after murdering that family so he must have been planning something else.

As for "coverage" or notoriety or fame or any of that other bullshit, that's the provenance of a mentally deranged person to begin with and they'll never actually know, internalize, understand, or care that their name has been struck from history. By doing it they're already a legend in their own mind and the "right" people will remember them anyway.

it's less about this murderer and more about the next one. when murderers are among the most famous and talked-about people in society, especially online, that's a signal that one way to gain notoriety is to commit a spree killing. the fewer of those signals sent, the better.

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/08/06/748767807/mass-shootings-can-be-contagious-research-shows

quote:

Towers and her colleagues also found that what set apart shootings that were contagious was the amount of media coverage they received. "In the incidences where there were four or more people killed, and even school shootings, those tended to get national and even international media attention," says Towers.

She also found that there is a window when a shooting is most likely to lead to more incidents — about two weeks. Towers and her team published their results in 2015.

It's a form of social contagion, says Peterson, somewhat like a suicide contagion — that's when a high-profile suicide leads to more people to take their own lives. For example, following the suicide of actor Robin Williams, researchers documented a 10% spike in suicides in the months following his death. Vulnerable individuals who are already struggling with suicidal thoughts read or watched news reports of the actor's death and then took their own lives.

Mass shooting contagion is similar, she says.

Peterson has interviewed living mass shooters in prison and people who knew such perpetrators and has found that these individuals often start out feeling suicidal.

"We can show about 80 percent were actively suicidal prior to the shooting," she says.

Crime works the same way

Censorship is the state telling the media "you shall not talk about this topic and if you do we will punish you"; that's not what's happening here. Responsible journalism is the media and the audience agreeing not to signal-boost a fuckhead

It might be helpful to know the kinds of people who do racist murdering poo poo for profiling purposes? For example everyone itt knows that someone who's big into Runic/Norse iconography is 100% a Nazi but it's helpful for ordinary people to understand those patterns by being exposed to them in relation to the crimes that are committed. Most sane people will say "wow, I don't want to be like that guy, or associate with anyone like them"

And it's not like the racist community isn't going to do some "his name is Robert Paulson" bullshit in the face of some misguided erasure from the media. The main point is concealing their face/identity/motive etc. is unhelpful other than assuaging people's baseless paranoia about copycats. You're not fighting racism or violence by doing that

Now this I can grab onto. I know a lot of "ordinary people" who can't even recognize what I thought were common racial slurs or hostile symbols, much less connect them with their target group or infer things about the person using them.

The researchers who drew the connection to it upthread didn't seem to think it was baseless, but I'm not sure where the line is between "mentally unstable person waiting for a sign of literally anything to go off" and "report of a hate crime inspires hateful, suicidal man to just get on with his part of the helter skelter"

Absolutely yes, "western culture" is incredibly hosed up. But since nobody is willing or able to make the changes needed to prevent violent hate-crimes, we can at least make baby steps and hopefully reduce harm.

It's limiting the glorification of the assailant, which is a proven way to discourage copycat murders, in the interest of public safety.

Christ. The Parkland shooter was a 19 year old who killed 17 classmates, surpassing the Columbine massacre. He received global attention, and eventually received a poo poo ton of fan mail from teenage girls all over the world. Who wants to encourage that kind of disgusting poo poo.

lol what?

so you think those websites that track the crimes of trans and jewish people are cool and good, because "transmission of information" should always be done, no matter what?

Every morning we should all wake up and turn on our tvs and see a stream of every single mugshot of every single crime that happens in Canada, anything less than that is literally censorship. Hell, we should send pamphlets out in the mail, since a lot of people don't watch the tv anymore. Maybe we could use the emergency broadcast system on our phones to send everyone a text alert with criminal names, hopefully they can update the system to include pictures too.

When the families of victims ask to not have information posted in the papers? Censorship.

Anonymizing underage criminals? Censorship.
