Stop Mentioning The Names of Mass Murderers
- Posted by Pat Munn
To: Kansas City Media
Let's start this in Kansas City and show the world how progressive we can be! In every story, whether printed or spoken, the names of mass murderers should be censored, starting 72 hours after the criminal is identified. This is what we do when words are obscene; perhaps this will end this...

Perhaps this will end these unstable people's quest for media coverage and 'fame' in what they may see as the only way available to them.

Update #6
Posted by Pat Munn (Campaign Leader) on Feb 18Eight weeks ago an armed man decided to deprive the world of these precious lives. Besides leaving behind devastated families and friends, we will never know the potential good they may have had in store. By keeping the killers' names out of the headlines perhaps more tragedies like this may be avoided. Sign now, or forward to just a few more friends, and perhaps we can encourage the media to have a fresh start this Spring.

Update #4
Posted by Pat Munn (Campaign Leader) on Dec 28, 2012Two weeks ago, an armed man slaughtered unsuspecting teachers and children in an elementary school. Help the survivors heal by forgetting his name and urging the media not to mention it. Almost 5800 of you agree. Please urge your friends to join you, so perhaps mass murders won't happen in 2013.

All these precious little angels and the others that lost their lives due to this gun crazed killer. These are the ones to remember., instead of treating this killer like a celebrety that has done something famous. Hopefully he burns in hell.
yes, life should not mean to take yearsss off for " good" behaviour! What ? good behaviour after killing innocent people! Life should be LIFE as u said- till the last day you are alive..
I like the sentiment, and for a while I regretted that I do not believe in the existence of Hell. But as a mathematician, I realized that eternal punishment even for Hitler and Stalin is excessive. Certainly, let Adolf suffer a year of torture, or even ten, for every one of the six million Jewish deaths he caused. But then, fairness requires that his soul be granted oblivion.
May a solution and justice be be found.
There is a solution; but you people will not execute the justice "hang them, today and not in 10 years time"
Not a solution here. This was murder followed by suicide. Just like the Sept 11 Muslim terrorists. Except that the killer probably didn't even expect 72 virgins as his reward.
I concur that the name of the responsible person should not be mentioned. Publishing the killer's name challenges others to follow suit and go beyond.
Amen. They blame the gun not the insane killer which did the deed. They only do what furthers their agenda not what is right. They won't stop though no matter how wrong they are, "gotta have those ratings."
i also think so
The responsible person for such atrocities should not be mentioned...for the pure fact that this is precisely what they want...recognition...let's see that they get none...the main people responsible for this are the media...who wish to publish their names...but as we know..they have their own agenda....and it's not good!
YOU SAID TO STOP MENTIONING THE KILLER'S NAME. ONLY SAY IF ONE TIME, THEM BLEEP IT OUT WHEN MENTIONED AGAIN. I TRULY DO UNDERSTAND HOW YOU MUST FELL, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A PARENT, OF WIFE, HUSBAND, MOTHER, FATHER ANYONE THAT'S LOST SOMEONE IN THAT TERRIBLE TRAGIC THING. BUT, I BELIEVE THAT ASS HOLE'S NAME NEED'S TO BE KNOWN. I AM SO, SO VERY SORRY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LAST SOMEONE AND MY HEART DOES OUT TO EVERY ONE. GOD BE AND IS WITH YOU ALL.
i am sorry if i said anything that had hurt you or anyone else. i never would have gotten what you just aid if i hadn't haven't gone to my home page, usually i don't check my home page. anyway. i do understand what you are saying, sometimes, i try to think about what the hell these kid's are thinking about. i think and i think that they could be thinking they may try to see if they can kill more than the one b/f him did. no one know's. i even heard he was trying to blame it on his brother. but that doesn't make sense. if he was going to do that then why did he kill himself? and i know someone out there know's what he was planing. people always talk to someone. he had to have said something to a friend. that friend just doesn't want to say anything b/c they might be thinking they could be a cussed of helping and not saying anything to anyone. saying he name all the time suck's badly. it's like going around saying Hitler all the time, you know what i mean?
and please for give me for me sspelling
yes let us remember each of these innocents
If it was my child I would want them to rest in peace not constantly being reminded they were a victim over and over. So I don't agree with mentioning there names instead of the killers. I don't want to hear the killers name but I want my child to be left to rest in peace and allow the family to heal as well not constantly reminded.
I agree w/you Nadia.
