I’m convinced we should have a naming system for mass murderers, like we do for hurricanes.

Instead of broadcasting their names and faces everywhere, which is exactly what they want, just go down the alphabet and assign some dumb name to them.

The news can still obsess over the case and talk about the killer, but now the headlines will be about Shooter Larry instead of their real name. And yes, it should be some silly commonplace name. Demystifying and deromanticizing these shitheads is the entire point.

#we can still have the same conversations about Shooter Larry#we don’t need his actual identity#it would be a big secret or anything just not important#why are we celebratizing these people?#Shooter Larry was a 22 year old white guy frustrated about his dumb life who shot a bunch of people#Shooter Larry: what a dick
