Edit: Here’s a link to what is most likely the real manifesto: https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/luigis-manifesto
Ken Klippenstein is a very reliable journalist and this version of the manifesto contains the snippets that have been released by law enforcement. Also, considering the thing was hand-written, that very long version involving his mom is dubious. (And there’s not any good evidence that his mom is in anything besides decent/good health)
Some of them, sure, but not all of them. Some of them just want a “high score”, some of them just want to hurt somebody, some of them just want their name in the history books.
It doesn’t matter what you call it. They want attention, and they’ve been shown new way to get a shit load of attention, much of it positive.
I expect school shootings to continue to happen at the same rate, where we might see someone have a crack at a single CEO or Director in the next year.
It does because it speaks directly to the motivation for the act.
I think a lot of school shooters don’t care if they get fame or infamy, they just don’t know how to get fame, but do know how to get infamy.
