I actually tend to agree. By far and away the media glorification of the subject is the biggest issue. Easily influenced, troubled youth disconnected from society/ reality in part due to social media with easy access to weapons being exposed to the 24/7 media frenzy (right as the alt-right creeps into the mainstream because our 'president' has hijacked issues that appeal to baser instincts) is the real problem.
