I think that murders need to be reported. But they should be put into context - what are the police doing in terms of long term strategy? Does the murder fit into a larger narrative? How does the big picture effect the small?
The problem with modern journalism is that it cannot stay focused... It doesn't tell the story just the chapter.

So let's compare the relative utility of ladders to the dangers posed by ladders and then decide whether we should ban ladders or reduce access to ladders or not. Feel free to start a thread as a forum for this discussion.
This thread is about firearms.
We could also start a thread about sophomoric analogies. That would cover the topic too.
