Each time tragic events such as the Ft Lauderdale 5 person massacre occur & perpetrators' faces/IDs are posted everywhere, I am compelled to re-issue my idea/request, that the media needs to create a policy of news sharing that does not feed the contagiousness of violent inspiration, a documentable beast. My original HuffPost article was published in May of 2014.

There are easy adjustments that would place victims before the perpetrators & diminish notoriety.

With the Ft Lauderdale tragedy, I am reposting it.
