Yeah, Sorch, this is one toughie, fir sure. The only thing that bothers mne is that we had 10 hours of non-stop media about htis morning's shooting. I happen to think with that kind of attention, he (or she) will just get more jollies and more motivation.
And another aspect of hte entire thing is that I watch Channel 5 news at 10:00 at night and the first 20 minutes *very* night are about the day's shootings. They never make the front pages. Heck, they might not even make the newspapers but they happen every day. Now, we have one guy (presumably) who gets to pre-empt an entire days woth of scheduled programs, including the news.
