Grossman, a longtime critic of violent games, told Time that, for gang members:
"The video games are their newspaper, their television, their all-consuming narrative."
Hampton, Virginia Police Chief Chuck Jordan (left) echoed Grossman's view during a recent community meeting on gangs. As reported by the Daily Press:
"Jordan had a blunt message for the city's parents at a public forum on youth and gang violence Thursday: Watch everything your kids watch and don't be afraid to pull the plug…
There is clear evidence of a link between violent TV and computer games and gang activity, he said."
"If you constantly get yourself involved in these video competitions, it becomes a way of life," he said.
It's unclear how Chief Jordan arrived at his conclusion regarding the supposed link between video games and gang activity. However, Grossman is a popular speaker on the law enforcement lecture circuit. Also, the Time article appeared shortly before Jordan made his remarks, so perhaps Grossman influenced Jordan.

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.
EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.
Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.
This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.
SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.

Gangs and Guns & R rated movies.
Violent people like violent things.
Violence and violent music.
Umm... gangs have been around long before video games were invented. They just like to blame anything they can other than failing parents. They've done it to Rock & Roll, comics, movies, dancing, etc.
And don't forget the link between police and other authority figures with snotty holier than thou attitudes and the level of cynicism among the public.
"To Patronize and Annoy"
