Hi all,

I'm looking for additional eye balls / brain cells on the following image of the Norway massacre perpetrator Anders Breivik: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Anders_Behring_Breivik_with_gun_(self_portrait).jpg

Based on what I have heard from psychologists (I'm sorry, I don't have sources handy), images in the media "glorifying" perpetrators of mass murderers, by for example, showing them dressed in black, posing with weapons, or photographs of them using custom weapons, were all potential triggers that increase the likelihood of copycats.

I posted a brief summary of this in the discussion page but interested in other views http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anders_Behring_Breivik#Picture

Clearly copyright etc. are important and many WP pages are enhanced by images but I think in this case we should think very carefully. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaulWicks (talkcontribs)
