That wasn't the killer at all, FOX News made a mistake
Comment has been collapsed.
this proves once and for all the FOX News is the reason for all crime, see how easy it is for anyone to throw these in the words of the turian councilor ah yes "facts" we have dismissed that claim.

I thought it was actually CNN that blew it this time, but in any case the media is certainly not helping at all in this situation. After the last Batman shooting the media isn't even supposed to mention the name of any possible killer or killers, confirmed or unconfirmed.

Yeah, but everybody wants a better scapegoat than CNN. Quick, blame video games and FOX News!

I bet one of his favorite things was sex. We need to ban that all around cause it will fix it all. No more sex means no more people being born means no future to carry on the violence.
Man I just figured out how to stop it all. lol

It's as simple as this. Correlation does not imply causation.
Comment has been collapsed.
You can't even talk about correlation. This is a single data point so correlation makes no sense. Using "correlation does not imply causation" is giving these people way too much credit. They don't have the intellectual capacity to even determine a correlation
Comment has been collapsed.
Indeed. And it's causation thanks for pointing it out. I completely misspelled the word.

Mass Effect is about protecting the Earth and humanity, game has a indirect death scene of one kid, and that causes Shepard to have PTSD.
yeah, that is some really nice game to pick up and blame. mob mentality.

Wasn't there something about a killer who said he got his moves from counter-strike?

Yeah, I know that. I didn't want to sound mean or anything, but we all know the stereotypes linked to the Americans: they are all fat and stupid. Just like all British have messed teeth and all the Japanese are weirdos. We all know that those things aren't true, but we still say them.

The sad truth is that these events can happen anywhere at any time and we have to resist the impulse to blame the first thing that jumps to mind. "Oh it's guns! It's videogames! It's social media!" The unfortunate reality is that it comes down to a single very sick person every time. Their nation of origin is irrelevant.

I can't speak for other posts but if they stick to Mass Effect (the point of this thread), the shooting itself, the media's handling of this incident, and / or the shooter then those posts should be fine as those are not specifically political in nature.

Misplaced anger. In peoples grief and outrage, they need to make sense of these senseless violent acts. So they need to blame someone/something for causing those evil people to do those evil things.

Ya I read a comment on an article that said we need to stop making violent video games and the violence will stop. People just don't seem to get that it's a problem in the home or with society itself.

People tend to like to blame the easiest thing they can think of than to find out the real reason said person does what he does. I am pretty sure that video games wasn't the culprit to killing dozens of children and adults. Most likely the lunatic had some major psychiatric issues that needed resolving by a mental health professional.

I love how violence is this new thing that started circa ~1985.
Did you know there was not a single incidence of violence before video games?

Finally, someone that sees the problem. The thing is, being violent made us what we are today. Starting with the dawn of humanity, we pretty much screwed(in both senses) other human races(neanderthals and some others), in order to be the dominant ones. It's hard to believe that we will give it up now and start being a peaceful bunch of hippies.

The game that made me feel violent was asteroids. It felt like they were always mocking me. Blow one up and another appears. I'm not sure if I can live with myself.

After Columbine massacre - people blamed Doom. Kids kept pipebombs and stockpiled automatic weapons in their rooms - it's Marlyn Manson's fault.
After Kimveer Gill shot 21 people (himself included) people blamed http://www.columbinegame.com/ .
I feel genuine pity for the kid's parents - they failed in raising children really bad. What's even worse is that they live in such a denial about their actions, they try and pin the blame in every fucking thing besides themselves. It's truly pitiful and I feel really really sorry for those people. It's every time something like this happens they go to "damage control" by banning video games, enforcing gun control and bla bla bla. Please tell me more about how criminals love to obey the law. . .
Fucking hypocrites. They deserve to go to jail for their children's crimes. . . People are more than stupid - people are fucking disgusting. . .

You sumed it pretty well. Learn how to raise your child instead of letting TV and PC raise him. If you don't spend time with your kids and teach them the basic values and laws of the society they live in, you are the one to blame. I know that nowadays parents are more preocuppied with work and "career" than taking care of the future generations, but that really needs to change. And seeing that more and more criminals are young or very young men, that needs to change fast.

The problem is not always the PC and the TV. In my case, when i was in high school, i suffered a lot. No one taked me seriously, and no one helped me but my parents. Why i suffered? Because my classmates were the biggest living craps that i ever met.
Now i'm in college and i'm a different person, just because i met different people.
IMO the real problem here is that these people do not know how to change their lives. If someone loves to play videogames days straight with no sleep, they must do something different.
I learned how to play the drums, travelled to other places, met people and listened to different kinds of music.
These people kill themselves and others because they think they are already dead.
We are the solution to that problem. How? TALKING to them, as simple as that. Show them other things in life and they will respond positively.

Oh my god I thought everyone knew by now that Marilyn Manson is responsible for everything. Makes you think...

I do recall hearing about a guy that killed 12? people with a knife in some city somewhere.
This was at like a mall or something, so it wasnt like they were in some RV and he murdered them while they slept.
That takes a lot of conviction to hunt down/ chase down 12 people to stab them to death.

There was also some guy in china that slaughtered abunch of people(mostly children also I think?) with a knife. I think it may be the same guy. SO it doesn't matter what you ban, evil people will find different ways to kill others when they are dead set on it.
