I hate seeing the pictures of mass murderers everywhere after their killing spree.
Anyone else with me? You can't go on a news site right now, and probably for the next couple of weeks and not see a picture of this guy staring back at you.

I'd rather see face pictures of the dead to honor them, not glorify the asshole who killed them. Instant celebrity.

4. Maybe the relatives of the victims would prefer not to see pictures
of their dead loved ones plastered over TV screens. On the other hand, showing pictures of the perpetrator may help to answer people's inevitable question of "What sort of person would do such a thing like that?"

8. "What sort of person..." - obviously a crazy person, yet most of the pictures
just look like some average dude. I think people hope to see the hate in their eyes or a swastika tattoo on their head or something, but really they just look like any of the hundreds of people we all see each day we go out in public.
