Mike,

I would add to what you have written that the names of the juveniles who commit these mindless killings should not be published, nor should they be given glossy cover spreads, complete with pictures, on pulp media publications, such as People, Newsweek, etc. This publicity glamorizes and romanticizes such crimes and appeals to would-be copycats.

Knives have been used in several recent killings which were singularly gruesome and vicious. The stabbing murders of a family In Chino Hills comes to mind, as does the stabbing murder of the teen-aged cheerleader by another teen-ager in Contra Costa County. I do not hear the masses crying for a ban on knives.

BTW, the teen-aged murderess mentioned above is now out and among us. The "experts" say she's been "rehabilitated."
