How The Buffalo Mass Shooter Got Exactly What He Wanted

About this video

Colion argues that mainstream media enabled an 18-year-old mass shooter by giving him exactly the fame and attention he sought, treating his manifesto and live-streamed attack as sensational content. He contends that media coverage of mass shooters creates copycat killers by making perpetrators famous while victims remain anonymous. Colion also criticizes New York’s strict gun laws, arguing the shooter specifically chose that location because he knew victims would be disarmed and unable to defend themselves.

Key takeaways

• Colion believes media coverage transforms mass shooters into celebrities, providing the fame and attention that motivates copycat attacks
• According to Colion, the Buffalo shooter deliberately crafted his attack to maximize media attention using anti-gun talking points and racist symbolism
• Colion argues that strict gun control laws like New York’s create vulnerable victim zones that mass shooters specifically target because armed resistance is unlikely
