The details are only getting worse as they're coming in.

Sickening, seems like something like this happens every other month?

No.  This is number 18 in a month in a half.  That's one about every 3 days plus a few extra.

Turn your speakers up loud and watch this clip.

Holy f***, that made my heart skip a beat.

CNN refuses to show his face or say his name for some reason. Probably because he’s white and not a Jihaddist so he’s mentally ill and not a terrorist.

Or perhaps because giving these creeps publicity encourages more events?

I highly doubt that. If that were the case then these incidents would have stopped a long time ago. Evil needs to have a name and face. They can’t hide his name and picture forever in this case considering that he’s going to be tried (and probably executed) for this crime.

Who said it could be kept hidden? Just because the name is knowable doesn't mean the infotainment channels should make an effort to spread it. That said, if the only restraint they show is not mentioning the name, it won't do much good. Except in the local area, I'm firmly of the opinion that this story warrants at most a one-minute synopsis per news cycle.

It’s the same reason that they should have released the Basements Tapes after Columbine. The public has a right to know and researchers like myself should have it available. The contagion theory is BS and especially in a case like this where the shooter is now in custody, he should be named and shamed.

It is a sad, sad day in America when people would rather make children and teenagers endure the bullsh**t of TSA airport-style security at the beginning of each school day than ban assault weapons.

At this point, I hope the prosecutors in Florida will let Cruz plead guilty and take his 17 life sentences so that the families don't have to go through a trial. If this goes to trial, he will almost certainly have no other option than to mount an insanity defense, which will turn into a circus.
