The article really says it all:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17124042/?GT1=9033
And now brace yourselves for the media fallout. As usual, video games and music are going to get blamed. I expect to hear something from Jack Thompson in the next few days. |

HEY! State of Emergency came out a LOOOOONG time ago and before that Time Crisis Assault or whatever... They can't pin this on the video games.
I'm sure they'll try but meh. Not like video games haven't shrugged attacks before. |

Noooo, why do trenchcoats gotta be blamed??? I HAVE ONE! I don't want to be associated with yknow, a teen murderer! Even though I understand that a huge purpose to have a trenchcoat in the olden days was to hide a firearm, BUT STILL!!! They is coooool. Boo stupid emo teen.

video games reduce violence because there are fewer losers wandering the streets with nothing to do. not saying video game players are losers, but instead that um.... video games are a honey that attract many flies.
Also consider that kids in hospitals who are given some video games only require half the pain medication
But no no, that's right, it's a video game that did it. Nobody thought about going to the mall and killing all those zombies for the rest of us until video games. |

Actually the kid was a Muslim it turns out.
I'd like the Muslim community to come out and condemn this kids actions. Anyone? Anyone? Nope, guess not.
I want to blame the kids religion and parents over video games but apparently we can't do that in PC America! Way to go hippies...Way to protect us from ourselves. |

Most likely they will sad time to be a moonanite.
Seriously though I'm with Gazz. Let's look at this kids upbringing before we start throwing out the blame but they won't do that and you know why? Because that would take effort! It is much easier just to find a quick blame like video games or ATHF or "society". Ok time for me to get off the soap box and let some one else have a turn. |
