Ban the use of a terrorists name, picture or background in all forms of media.

Why did the Connecticut shooting take place?
Many reasons, one is: "...because of the way the media reports on it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their basements see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody."
A ban maybe too extreme, however killers should be nameless and faceless, no fame should come of terror. I hope this petition at least start the conversation!
