Copycat Crimes

I still have to say that I think copy cat crimes are an interesting phenomenon that is being blamed entirely too much on Hollywood and not enough on the ind9vidual. As John Douglas said, these people would find other ways to be violent if they did not have the influence from the movie in the first place. The fact that "Natural Born Killers" was so popular seemed fairly frighting to me though. How could so many people be so inspired by this one film? I think copy cat crimes are committed by disturbed people who lack enough creativity to come up with interesting crimes on their own. They in turn take the crimes depicted by other more imaginative people and copy them.
