Copycat Film

I really enjoyed the movie with Bill Curtis we watched in class last week.  After other blogs I think everyone pretty much hit it on the head that this individuals that commit these crimes and sick and mentally weak. These people do not know how to take responsibility of their own actions. I believe that these people have mental problems that are overlooked in the earlier stages of their development. I think the copycat acts can be avoided if the propers actions are taken when they show signs of not knowing right from wrong or understanding the consequences of their actions. To them, watching these people do it on movies only makes them feel like it can be done and they can maybe get some recognition and have a movie made about them possibly. Some of these offenders want just that, to be acknowledged. Either way they are all sick in the head and I feel if the people who surround them take the proper steps to get them help then the whole "copycat" excuse can be laid to rest.
