The Media is an Accomplice in Public Shootings: A Call for a "Stephen King" Law

This week, I watched in horror with most of America, as yet another person unleashed a furry of bullets in a busy Portland, Oregon, mall killing two and injuring others. But my horror was twofold.

The second dose came as I held my breath, hoping and praying the media wouldn?t amplify the violence.
