Withhold their fame

It's time to try a different approach to stop the mass shootings in this country. I think all of these shooters, as sick as it is, are looking for their 15 minutes of fame. With the cooperation of all media outlets, their 15 minutes of fame could be denied. In the latest incident, all media would refer to him as, "a coward from Parkland, Florida ..." The actual name used only by court officials. Also, pictures would have their faces blurred or a black line over their eyes. We do not need to see their sick faces every time the story airs. Taking away their 15 minutes of fame just might deter copycats.
