Last time I checked, the media had their own "rule of thumb" that mass murderers' psychotic ramblings weren't published because random gun violence killers are driven by desire for public attention.
I think the media has been more than happy to publish manifestos in the past (although over time it has moved more to not doing so).
The question I have is whether or not the cops have ever had a policy of releasing them (other than in trial).
Most manifestos I've seen published were posted by the killers themselves online - not found by the cops and then made public.
That's why I keep asking the posters here to point to the previous manifestos released by the police.
I'm happy to argue for consistency of practice here but I need some evidence about what the practice really is.
