  • Just stop glorifying it all together. Never mention or acknowledge the killer at all. Example: another person was attacked today in the XXX neighborhood. They died shortly after arriving at the hospital. Be on the look out for a thin tall green female.
    In other words never mention by made up name, real name, or put a face to the crime. At least not until after convicted. This accomplishes two things, stops the glorification, and prevents ruining somebody's life that is a suspect but not the actual criminal.
    For our English lads out there is it still true that English media can not mention the person's real name or show a picture of a person that is just a suspect or has not been convicted?
    I've seen many cases where the media blast a person's name, face, job, everything about them and then it's a false aligation but the person's life as they knew it was destroyed especially if they're a teacher, police, political figure, high profile person.
    Name them anything you want just stop the media frenzy from blowing it in to a ratings war for them and their profit margin.
