I'm assuming you're not a gamer... correct?barstoolguru wrote: Me; personally I blame the video game that teach the kids it’s OK to kill or maim hundreds of people at a time
People often tend to blame things they don't understand. I have played hundreds of games since I was a kid, and a huge number of those had me shooting SOMEONE. I think I turned out alright.... and there are hundreds of thousands of other adults who had the same outcome.
I HAVE seen kids who were literally frightening to watch play the same games, however. The ones who you can tell are playing BECAUSE they get to kill people.
Is that the game's fault? No.
You can't put a simple label onto the cause of something like this. It's no more a game's fault that it is a gun's fault or the fault of the school for being there.
Games have gotten almost as bad of a rap as guns have in the past 20 years.
