It's disturbing, but not ironic! Ironic would be Steve Irwin getting pr0nzed by the relatively harmless sting ray, because that was unexpected and 'abnormal'(that out of all scary things a sting ray will get him). There is nothing ironic about the fact that the last things his victims saw was him holding those guns, unless they've all seen his attention whoring package earlier and was laughing it off right before he burst in shooting? http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/irony Not only did NBC just broadcast it over and over, they've also stamped their logo all over the killer's messages, so proud they are of their killer!
