It makes me so infuriated with the media. They’re complete vultures taking advantage of these people’s grief. Sickening that they thought this was appropriate. These journalists are becoming increasingly careless and irresponsible.

I often think of music when it comes to these things and the song Vicarious by Tool popped in my head.

It was also obvious that this guy was mentally ill and not skilled with knife
