I always have mixed feelings about this. It is good that people want to show their support and sympathy for something tragic that happened, but at the same time it will eternalize the actions and result of one deranged individual. Hell, probably THE most hated person on a global scale in modern times when you think about it.

It only eternalizes him if you say their names, identify their existence. It is fine to remember the people lost without remembering the murderer.

Though I get where people are coming from (I have no love for the motherfucker responsible for this) I think sometimes people can get a bit emotionally in figuring out the discourse of how to handle identifying them. We definitely shouldn't glorify them but I feel like there's too much trying to demonize others who even mention their name, which in terms pretty much only adds to what they wanted to accomplish--sow chaos among one another. Don't want to glorify them, nor do we want to make them out to be some sort of supernatural monster that is so powerful that even mentioning their name makes you cower in terror. And honestly considering that anybody who would commit such an act might not be right in the head in the first place, they might think that people even acknowledging that it happened in the first place is some way of glorifying their act. Basically some are way too obsessed about what they think, which is ironic because we really shouldn't give a shit about what they think is glorifying them or not.
That being said I don't think this picture is really acknowledging them in any way.
Only history will tell if we will say the name of the arsonist when we commemorate those who were his victims. I want to believe that we will remember more them, than that guy. But the tragedy of Sharon Tate reminded me its near impossible to dissociate the victims and the murderers, especially when it have such impact.
