I think that last part is the good and the bad. Maybe some will stop, I cant remember that Florida psychos name but Dylan klebold sticks with me to this day. But the scary part is maybe some are now inspired to be #1. Hell look at the list of mass shootings and like 3 of the top 4 were in the past 5 years. It was probably deranged psychopaths before just shooting people but now they also have a number in mind they want to top.
