Yeah shows like the Walking Dead feed the fantasy, but it originates from video games.

There are always people who live in a fantasy, regardless of where they get it from.
You don't ban alcohol because drunk drivers kill people, or tightrope walking at the circus because some idiot will try it and fall, or guns because some people will abuse them, or pro wrestling because some kid will copy them and kill someone.
Hell, kids would copy the old 60's (50's?) George Reeves Superman TV show and try to fly. Guess what? They couldn't.
There is no easy solution and nothing we do today will do anything to help these victims or their families.
One disturbed person did this, he's to blame.
