publicizing manifestos

I watched in shock as NBC News engaged in one of what I believe to be the most shocking and irresponsible acts of journalism that I have ever witnessed. I am at a loss to explain why any responsible news agency would air the grievances of a sociopathic murderer. Everything that I have seen about this suggests that the murderer was an attention seeker; those who paid attention to his profane musings were concerned that he was fundamentally disturbed. Were his ramblings to have been sent to NBC without the backing of his unfathomable actions, they would have been discarded as the concerns of a misguided misanthrope. Backed by his outrageous actions, he has now been given voice. One wonders what set of incentives this puts forth. If one cannot find an outlet for such musings without engaging in horrific behavior, then one might logically conclude that the horrible behavior is a necessary condition for publicizing the misanthropic beliefs. To say that publicizing this manifesto sets a dangerous precedent diminishes not only the needless sacrifice of 30+ lives at Virginia Tech, but also places a target on innocents that happen to unknowingly cross paths with silent misanthropes that wish their antisocial beliefs to be publicized. I hope that my inferences are incorrect. I fear that they are logically sound.
