Does the Media Cause Mass Shootings?

On Dec 3rd, Naeem Davis, a homeless Muslim man, shoved a middle-aged Korean man in front of an oncoming Q subway train in Times Square. A Muslim photographer snapped a shot of him waiting to die that appeared on the cover of the New York Post and then went around the world. And that was that… except it wasn’t.

On December 28, there was another shoving murder. After the latest round of murders, suicides and accidental deaths, seven people have died under trains in 2013; a number that does not include the deaths previously mentioned. Last week two people committed suicide by jumping in front of trains. Another was killed in a possible accident. One lost a leg. Two others were seriously injured. And this week there was another suicide.

Yes of course and I wouldn't be surprised if it is done intentionally to sell news. Many copy cats get their ideas from the news media.

I can see it coming: they (govt) will now pass a law against jumping in front of trains, maybe a $800 fine for the first offense, doubled for the second offense, jail term and registered offender for third.... OR should we just ban the use of trains???...
