There seem to be many copy-cat terrorist attacks lately

You hear it so often in the news lately car drives in a crowd of people. I read Nizza 2016 was the initial one in the last years.

Today there was a shooting in Austria in a school. In Europe this does not happen as often as in the US. I hope there won't be copy-cat terrorists like with the cars as a weapon.
However, many accidents of people driving their cars into people were falsely claimed as terror attacks.

When people want to be seen, and when what is shown in media is these terrible things, people will copy. Maybe if the good things were shown, people would copy that? But the media only shows what makes people watch them, and unfortunately, a lot of people are attracted to tragedies, disasters and otherwise negative media.
