..just directly to the OP herself, I know how passionately you feel about media slants and potentially 'inciting' etc and I do understand any outrage/passion of feelings about this murder, I really do...but I think there is a danger of people becoming 'alarmist' also in 'kneejerk', which would have a very counter-productive effect and the media would then be manipulating us as well...

Is this a suggestion these acts (bolded) can't be considered extremist or terrorist either?
An increase in attacks is worthy of discussion without being considered alarmist, why would reportage of attacks be counter productive?
I'd worry suppression of that information would be manipulative.
