And I’m utterly unhappy with the calls for censorship (or making the reporting as demeaning as possible) as the answer to violence.

I think that’s nonsense. Society is safest when people know the unfettered truth.

And the suggestion, I’ve read elsewhere, that authorities and reporters should emphasize that killers are losers will backfire.

1) people will start persecuting all the loser loners they know
a) and some of them, expected to be violent will become violent
2) people will have bullshit expectations and not protect themselves from people who don’t fit the bullshit narrative
3) people who want to kill will adapt and take advantage of this
4) people will not be fooled and laugh at the pathetic attempts to fool the public
