But there is a sensationalism attacbed to these crimes that doesnt exist without media attention
We should make mass shooting an act of terrorism and charge anyone with knowledge of the crime with felony murder...
That way we can try them in a military court and get around due process...
Also charging their close ones with felony murder will encourage people to turn in their famy or friends when they start planning these shootings...
First of all there's absolutely no more sensationalism of mass shootings than there are any of crime thats on the front page of any newspaper or news site.
With that logic school graduations, volunteer work, city cleanup, opening a business, etc would be more prevalent because they run 5x more stories on that shyt or soft stories than anything else.
Secondly although we are not a Christian nation, all of our elected officials heavily favor the Christian bible which states the son shall not suffer for the sins of their father, nor shall the father for their son.
Whether they charge them with treason or murder or whatever isn't going to deter it either. There's not been one mass shooter that has cared about the charge whether they are in jail, killed on scene or killed themselves.
