Can increasing awareness or presence be bad? Can you think of examples where it might be better not to increase awareness? 20 years ago 'active shooter' had no meaning. Today the term is all over the place. It's part of every safety brief and heavily covered by the media. For this very reason I believe there are more instances. Thoughts?

MSG Morgan Fiszel, CPCM, CFCM Agreed, we just had this conversation on a diff thread. We need to black out the shooters name and not state it.
Each shooter we give a different alias and refer the idiot as dummy or person X.
If we stop giving credit the desire for infamy may start to wane.

I think it involves a lot more than just the name or 'credit'. That's a smaller part of a bigger issue. It's about the act itself and the attention it gets.
