This pathetic little man probably did what he did for complex reasons but ONE of those reasons will have been is for NOTORIETY. He hoped we would NOT forget him and that society would REMEMBER a little man who felt he'd been 'nameless' for 'too long'.
I really do NOT see why we should give him what he actaully WANTED: a place in our memories!
May I suggest that we ALL try our very best not to remember his NAME! Don't think of him as a PERSON: think of him as a CREATURE. Let's give him NO 'dignity' what-so-EVER! An unmarked grave or being chucked into the sea with the rest of the garbage would seem fitting!
For me, I remember the names of Dunblane, Hungerford, Columbine, etc. but I do my VERY best to forget the name of the C**** who made them famous!
Sadly, I can't hurt the perpetrators by ANY action that I can take....BUT, if we could all do it, we'd take away ONE of the motivations for the NEXT creature who wants to be 'remembered' for this sort of action!
If you need to refer to the creature, call him the Cumbrian Killer or something like it! Do NOT give him the honour of possessing a NAME!
