Im about to go off on one cus i hate Thompson so im sorry. So its safe to say that theres a small amount of violence in nearly all media. Does this mean that all video games, music, and movies are motivators for murder. This Cho character had serious personal issues years before this shooting. It is speculated that he was raped as a child, as well as having next to know contact with people. His dorm mates reported him stalking at least three females on campus, and taking pictures of women under tables in class. In fact, the pictures he took of himself holding a gun to his head, and the hammer, were imitations of a South Korean film about vengeance, so how can Thompson make the jump from a South Korean film to American video games. Thompson is yet again exploiting the fear and sadness of the American public to try and sway the uninformed to jump on his bandwagon. All I can say is that this shooting could have been prevented, not buy unplugging a video game console, but by getting this guy serious help after realizing he had serious personal problems. Video games won't drive you to murder if there isn't a pretext to criminal behavior already present. I'm sure most of us have been playing games for most of our lives, and are no more likely to shoot up a school because of it. But if you take a person who has already had run ins with the law, insane obsessions and has been bullied, and NO ONE has taken the action to get him help or put him away, i guess you have to blame video games, if you don't want to place responisbility on things that actually make sense.  And again sorry for the rant.
