Self-Made Stars

The internet is like crack-cocaine for the human ego. And we’re all addicted. [More]
I like the fact the writer didn't go blaming guns. And he's got some terrific insights that need to be stated and shared. That said, there's some implied collective guilt that brings to mind the old "What you mean we, Kemosabe?" punchline.

The internet is also like a tool for those who see the information gatekeepers are often ignorant, asleep, corrupt...

Some understand and primarily use it that way, and what they share is not about themselves, but about things that are much more important.  Some understand that so-called "social media" can provide ways of climbing over, going around or tunneling under the gates, and that if we don't use it to our advantage, those intent on controlling us most certainly will.

Granted, for the most part I guess the guy is right.

The little narcissist murderer's FB page contained pictures mostly of - himself.

I agree the little psychopathic self-lover wanted primarily to be famous. His first love was himself, and yet he whined about not having a girlfriend.

What girl could compete with this murderer's self-love?

What were mommy and daddy doing to instill morals in this little creep?
