Yes. What the insatiable press has been doing for quite a while now (at least since the 60s) is going deep into the lives of these killers, exploring everything they've ever read or written, immortalizing their insane thoughts. They are on television, magazines, newspapers, and not just the news media but even the entertainment media. You see their faces at the newstand, on television, and at the cash register. People will speak of them for years or decades, and commemorate their acts every year.
All that needs to stop. Yes, police and crime analysts need to do all that, and they need to produce their reports and analyses of what happened, how, and how it can be prevented.
But we don't need to see all that at the cash register.
