That's a really good point. As an American ingrained in this culture, it really is true now that I stop and think about it. We have a fascination with killers. We need to know everything about them as if that will somehow help understand why they did what they did.

    I want to hear about memorials for the victims, community support, calls for law changes, I want to see news about shit actually changing.

Agreed. This is especially salient to me after the Charleston shooting. There was a good amount of coverage of memorials and community support right after the shooting, but now that it's been a few weeks it's back to being obsessed with Dylan Roof.
