The fact is, killers are killers and will use what ever is at their disposal. Does that mean that there should be no gun manufacturers, knife manufacturers, pillow case manufacturers... etc... no more night clubs, alley ways, houses, parks, streets... etc... no more places for people to meet, no more places for people to be alone, no more places for people to exist...

there will always be somebody to blame and the viewers/readers will eat it up. OMG.. he met someone on a website!? We must shut down that website!! Meanwhile it never even occurs to them that he very likely would have used some other service, some other site, some other method... or just killed because he woke up that day.

I hate the media for pulling this crap on a daily basis, but I hate the general populous even more for soaking it in and believing.
