Good. The last thing we need is to tell the next nutball out there that doing this will get them heard.
A bit late for that. Criminologists say all the time that media organizations shouldn't endlessly replay the story and post the pictures of the culprit because of the incentive it gives copycat killers and whatnot. They do it anyway, because ratings. Ever seen Nightcrawler? It's hyperbolic for sure, but not as much as we'd like to think.
Being a former newsman himself, he probably knew from the get-go that he'd get all the coverage that he so desired.
