The Rolling Stone article by Mark Boal about the Von Maur Shootings in Omaha.

Quote:

On an overcast Wednesday afternoon last December, a skinny white teenager shuffled into the Westroads Mall in Omaha, Nebraska, with an assault rifle hidden under his black hoodie. A cheery holiday atmosphere filled the aisles. Christmas trees twinkled, holiday music played softly. Nobody paid attention to the slouching teen as he got on the elevator in the Von Maur department store and rode it to Level 3. He came out with his gun raised: an effeminate-looking, almost pretty boy with alabaster skin and cherry-red lips, holding the rifle like a pro — stock to cheek, elbow high. Harry Potter with an AK-47. He crossed the hall to the girls 7-16 section, where, among the rows of dresses and frilly tops, he came across two women and shot and killed them both. The high-decibel blasts ricocheted through the store and sent the remaining shoppers into a panicky, screaming dash for cover, and as they ran, crying out in confusion, the teen squeezed off two more rounds, hitting the arm of a man lunging into a side door — then aiming at a man fleeing down an escalator, killing him before he reached the last step. The boy leaned over a balcony overlooking a central atrium, squinted down 40 feet to Level 1, where a janitor was scrambling to find a safe zone, and shot and killed him. Swiveling back to Level 3, he saw a woman ducking into an employee locker room, and he shot and killed her.

I agree Vorhees is an idiot.

I didn't listen to the interview, so I can't judge on the author of the piece, but he seems to portray the killer as a guy that had no choice but to shoot people.

why are jounalists getting publicity?

I read the whole article last night, after hearing about it all day yesterday.
It is seriously disturbing that they would print that. They glorified him, and even tried to make him "lovable" so sick. And like Dave said they made it sound like he had no choice but to shoot people.
