"Adam Lanza idolized past mass shooters, meticulously studying their tactics, which indicates a disturbing pattern of emulation and the psychological allure of infamy associated with violence."

"The glorification of figures like Luigi Mangione as folk heroes reveals how certain subcultures can reframe violent acts as rebellion, perpetuating the allure of outlaw narratives."

"Recognition of identification with prior attackers—the emulation of their personas as warriors—is critical for threat assessment and intervention to prevent future violent acts."
