Great post. Thought provoking, for sure. There are some things which you might have fallen short explaining, though. If the bloodlusting public won't stop craving tragedy until either the brave or bold reveal it to them via riske' news story, would that revelation really STOP their craving? Perhaps temporarily. Well.. I guess even a temporary "pause" would still fit the line "we won't give pause until the blood is flowing".

hmm...
