2) You have to name them, then hopefully people that knew him will come forward and help with the investigation. They can investigate that without the person's name being on every newspaper across the world. Exactly. The police already know his name and they're the only ones who need to. |

There’s gotta be some sort of middle ground between printing his life story every time an article is written and pretending a tragedy is committed by some nameless faceless boogie man. Neither one is healthy, as both can lead to more violence.

When these tragic situations occur, I prefer the practice of profiling victims and those lost, and doesn’t inspire weirdos and potential copy cats. The infamy is a motive for many of these people, unfortunately, |

Before I make any further posts, I just wanna clarify what we’re debating here. Are we discussing whether or not media outlets should report the identity of a murderer or whether there should be a 100% information blackout on the identity of a murderer? Because I feel those are two entirely different things, with two entirely different debates.

I'm just saying we mention him no more than we have to and focus more on his victims than we do him. Leave the "why" to the criminologists. |

I’m absolutely okay if the name is only ever officially reported by the police themselves, and with the media avoiding the name. That makes sense to me. But the identity has to be made public record, waaay to much shit could be stirred up if all of a sudden this information is being withheld from the general public as some suggested. Good, honest, reasonable people would start questioning that after awhile, especially in countries where this happens more frequently then Canada, and the people who are already conspiracy leaning would lose their shit. Make the info available, but don’t glorify or have the picture on 24/7 news cycle. Vast majority of people aren’t going to bother looking it up, as long as they feel things aren’t being hidden from them. |

ONCE AGAIN
DO NOT POST THE MURDERER'S NAME OR VIDEOS NAMING HIM ON THIS BOARD. DOING SO OR EVEN PURPOSELY LINKING TO SUCH WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE BAN
I just let that slide once. I will not let it slide again, for ANYONE.
