“Borges in particular has sought—and received—a totally unique settlement in addition to that from the FBI. What many of the victims want, and aren’t getting, is a reprieve from the onslaught of coverage of their perpetrator. And in late June, as part of an extraordinary civil settlement, Borges’ lawyer secured for Borges the rights to the Parkland shooter’s name.
What does it mean to own a name in this way? The most practical result is that the shooter himself cannot participate in any sort of documentary, interview, or other piece of media without Borges’ express consent, and any attempt at doing so could be struck down in court.”
It's important to note that religious conservatives then launched a campaign of harassment and bullying against these kids, attacking them further for surviving the school shooting and accusing them of unspeakable and atrocious acts. All because the religious conservatives value their guns rights more than the safety of children.
