I recently read an article about a serial killer and how he used the media to spread his motives and beliefs, wanting to encourage others like him.
I am glad that while the song strongly suggests that it's about a serial killer/ madman/ terrorist, Disturbed keep the song ambiguous because they obviously don't want to draw attention to any specific person (kind of the whole point of the song)!
I guess another link is how many people can name Dylan and Eric from the 1999 Columbine School shooting, but how many people can even recall the number of people who died, or two or more of the names of their victims? Our media is saturated with huge tragedies and (often) in looking for someone to blame, the perpetrators come out with more fame and notoriety.
It's NOT a good situation!
