how about we don't glorify the fuckwit who murdered these people? Mention the names of the murdered, the wounded, the first responders, but as far as that cvntly, racist coward, he deserves no recognition, no fame, just to be remembered as the racist coward who murdered people

Disagree. Everyone should know this is yet another act of right wing terrorism inspired by our nazi president.

Put that in the description. Put it right next to cowardly cvnt. No name needed.

But they can't hide from it since we can plainly see his manifesto, we can plainly see who his inspiration was. If the media didn't name names then Trump could easily claim it's a conspiracy by the media and 30% of the nation would believe it 100%.

You do need the killer's name. It's how we know they're not just making shit up. It's how Trump can't effectively claim it's some conspiracy to make the right look bad.
I'm referencing the endless repetition of the name.
I can name probably 6 or more mass shooters off the top of my head, I could not name a single victim. Given time, I could probably get that 6 to a 10. The number of victims stays the same. Zero.
This is my point.

Why would you remember the victims when it was the shooters who did something noteworthy? I know Stalin's name but I don't know the name of anyone killed in the Holodomor.

If I were a gun owner I would be demanding for changes so I wouldn't lose all rights to own a gun.

I'd be down with declaring post-1945 semi-auto rifles with magazine sizes over 5 rounds Title II NFA weapons and regulating them accordingly. Anybody who doesn't want to deal with those restrictions would be able to turn them in for MSRP adjusted for inflation.

Expect more of this in the future. The outlook looks grim. A sad day non the less. But it will get worse before it ever gets better.

I don't understand this idea that you hide and protect bad things and then they magically go away. I'm glad his name was revealed. As soon as I saw it I could go to his twitter and see this was pretty clearly a white nationalist terrorist attack. I'm of the belief you shine a light on evil, not that I expect the media to do their job and shine it back at Trump.

But why would I know the victims' names? I don't know anyone in El Paso. None of them is trying to start a race war like this shooter.

Um...There's a long way between completely suppressing a name and not mentioning it to the point where I'm in danger of remembering it. No need to make a sad non-entity some sort of star. He's just a generic representative of a type., is all.

Well, if you are going to go that (weird and troll-like) route, I would point out that Stalin had to work for decades to run up that bodycount. He didn't just buy a gun and go shoot people in the market. Hell, he participated in massacres of this magnitude when he was a lowly bankrobber raising funds for the party. As did a good few other (forgotten) bomb-throwers of the period. If you want to be remembered as a villain you have to put in the office hours. Become the leader of a major country, say.
