Murderer Kid "loved" violent Videogames.

A lot of these shootings and violent outbursts tend to stem from family issues.

As I stated time and again, if you want violence to end, treat your kids right (i.e., don't coddle or abuse them).

He enjoyed violent video games? Good for him.

Too bad something inside him was broken enough to actually commit murder...

Oh great, another cuckoo.

Oh good. So he intends on screwing both gun owners and video gamers at the same time.

God I hate attention whores.

I'd assume he loved the violent video games because he was violent himself. The games didn't make him violent

Yeah I agree somewhat. If you look on this page a bit higher up you'll see what I think of it.

I played Doom II at the age of 8 and have enjoyed violent video games for almost a decade and a half... and I am a law abiding citizen who does not murder people. Mental illness was why this boy did what he did.Zeviander

DOOM II has planted the seed of violent rage within you nonetheless.

That rage may be dormant now, but oneday, suddenly and inexplicably, everyone around you will resemble a fireball-tossing imp and you'll feel compelled to reach for a shotgun ...

:o

He was also a "fan" of the violence in McClouds Daughters.
And didn't eat his vegetables.
And played board games with his mother that he frequently lost.
And wore intimidating red shoes.

I'm sure there were murderers that loved violent films, or violent books, or violent music, etc

potential murderers/psychopaths probably don't spend every second of their life murdering or planning murder and probably have hobbies like other not-psychopathic people.

The teenager was obviously troubled regardless of the video games he played. Somebody should have noticed that something about his personality was off from the start.The guns should have been kept in a gun safe or at the very least had a trigger lock on them. I keep the keys to my gun safe on me at all times for the sole reason that I don't want anybody else to have access to them without my knowledge. Its also worth noting that with the exception of the AR-15 none of the firearms listed would have fallen under any kind of gun ban. As some others have pointed out his love of violent video games is just a symptom of a greater problem.

Look at this in reverse. He's a killer and he likes violent video games. Not that surprising, eh?

I'm just gonna leave this here.

We should arrest all who play CoD and GTA, just to be sure.

This is what I hate about arguments involving violent video games, it seems no one on the side of video games even bothers to argue intelligently. I feel like they're constantly arguing against strawmen, whether it be a comment like this, jumping down the throats of people who just want to have a conversation on the issue and are not necessarily advocating specific action, or going on eloquent tangents that don't actually address any of the concerns the other side raises. I do think there is a large segment of people on the other side who are just prudes and/or don't understand video games and video gamers because of a generational gap, but I think to say that the pro-video game crowd is combative would be putting it mildly. For as much of a lack of understanding as there is on the other side, there's equally a lack of wanting to be understood on this side.

I wasn't saying anyone was blaming games or wanted to ban games.JohnF111

It's sometimes known as "Not being serious".

[QUOTE="MrGeezer"][QUOTE="JohnF111"] That's why I was exaggerating and being facetious. Ever heard of it?JohnF111
