Some stunning info on shooters and their obsession with first person shooter games... Of course nobody wants to admit "entertainment" plays s big part in this.
...
Nick Cruz, of the Stoneman Douglass shooting, spent 12 to 15 hours a day playing video games where he was killing people and blowing things up. Adam Lanza, of the Sandy Hook shooting, had killed racked up over 83,000 kills in “Combat Arms”, his favorite video game.
There is some evidence that Cho Seung-Hui, who killed 32 people at Virginia Tech, was an avid counter strike player, but it’s hard to get accurate information about it because it was a while ago, and it looks like the video game industry leaned on the media to remove references to it. (Many outlets repeated arguments that “no video games were found with his belongings” but counter strike is an online game, not a console game meaning there doesn’t have to be a physical copy.)
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, of the Columbine shooting, were avid video game players — and actually went on their shooting spree after their video game privileges had been revoked.
- Cho Seug-Hui had heavy mental illness, the video games didnt made him kill people. Vid games are just a thin layer in a very complex matter.Bennn
- there's just as much violence in those superhero movies targeting kids as there is in FPS games, but god forbid they show kids a pair of tits.LMFAO
- Of course no one wants to admit a false correlation borne of flawed fuckwit reasoning. Even psychos consume media just as the rest of us do.detritus
