4 Shootings Blamed on Video Game Violence

Think gaming creates killers? Think again.

The irony is that these activists make me wanna commit murder more than video games..

These people were messed up in the head to begin with, video games didn't make them that way, their could have been many triggers if not video games.. I don't get the agenda behind blaming videos games, they just need a scape goat?

So, a couple of days ago I saw a car skid in the snow, then mount the pavement, then try and drive off in a hurried panic.

Maybe if the driver has ever played Sega Rally, we could blame that.

So what else is new.Don't they ALWAYS blame video games when shit like this happens.

I was just going to say that a more sensational headline would be "4 shooting that were completely unrelated to video games whatsoever"

I remember when Metal (music) was getting this same wrap (pre-Norwegian death metal dudes blowing up churches) like late 80s metal the harmless hair metal stuff. You listen to it now what what people thought were the words spitting from Satan's tongue is really just crappy "heavy" metal.

Society loves to be afraid of anything that they don't know about or understand.

Dungeons and Dragons is another perfect example. That's a board games and it has been linked to shooting in the past.
