SOMEONE has to be demanding this stuff, otherwise they wouldn't do it.
Before pointing the finger of blame (although NBC certainly has sunk several notches on the "journalistic credibility" scale for their sleazy actions), let's look in the mirror.

Please, they think they will profit from this, it is infotainment, plain and simple

We have pwd claiming here that this will give a deranged person or two a "reason" to go on a killing spree. I see it as giving the vast majority of the non-deranged to see how warning signs were treated with apathy. I see it as the vast majority of non-deranged looking at this, saying something like: "you know, I know that person I see around is weird, and I didn't *think* he'd *hurt* anyone, and I didn't want to get involved......but after this, I will get involved." This may be the very coverage that might be pushing those to get more involved across the country, including law enforcement.

People were scared of this guy before he did this, former room mates, teachers etc. The "the vast majority of non-deranged" people can already recognize someone who is scary crazy.
It is incomprehensible to me that it is not clear to all that this is rewarding bad behavior, mad dog murder spree, by giving the perpetrator exactly what he wants, posthumously.
How do you not see that rewarding a certain behavior encourages exactly the same behavior to be repeated? I guess common sense truly is an oxymoron.
As we calmly, or in some cases not so calmly, debate this stuff, there is some dangerous psychopath cleaning his guns and polishing his manifesto.
