brian kilmeade will be here tos talk politics. [laughter] so last night i came across an interview with former fbi profiler mary ellen o toole, and she backs up something that i ve been ranting about every times bad stuff like this happens. he told the daily mail that nashville and everyone else should brace for copycat events due to the inevitable contagionw effecthe caused by the media,s adding, quote: threats increase in schoolss of nationwide aftera shooting has occurred anywhere in thes u.s. sadly, evil seems to inspire more evil. it s the same reason they keepvi l.making more sex in the city movies. [laughter] but media helps.[l now, sheau knows this to be true because after the columbine shootings in 99, the fbi studied 18 previous school shootings and found that the copycat influence was real in all of them. turns out, mass shooters are as unoriginal as they are disgusting. and why? because info on these fiends becomes instantly available in minute detail, and what d

disgusting. and why? because info on these fiends becomes instantly available in minute detail, and what dome fiends share a love for? infamy. it s why they keep press clippings from previous shooters and also why they boast about the infamy before they actually hedo it, hike the nashville shooter did.shvi so the media incentivizes future mass shootings by rewarding the present ones. i don t know how you can get any more plain than that. which brings me to nashville s coverage. i hate it. here s the front pag e of the new york post at w yesterday. the timeline of terror shows you minute by minute how the carnage unfolded, complete with pictures of the gunmae win looking like e gunman. a then you get chilling final text messages from the shooter. you get photos of the victims, you get stories about the shooter s parents. is that enough? well, we also got the body cam footage. family members oe bof victims, photos ofof the classroom pre-rampage. do we need that?f th
