Fox News is linking todays Killings to Video games

[hex]

Chris Rock is one of the greatest minds in America. Way ahead of his time.

 

[Fillerguy]

well it's easy to say "crazy", but this was a person that behaved more-or-less rationally every day of their life. people still want an explanation for why he went "crazy"

just to be clear, I in no way blame video games

psychopaths usually do this

 

[hex]

I guess "Mass Effect" got blamed because the dumb ass news said his brother shot up the school, and he's the one that liked "Mass Effect" on his Facebook page. So it wasn't even the right guy.

fukking morons.

Fred.

 

[AITheAnswerAI]

Right, because people weren't murdered, raped, enslaved, massacred, relegated, abused, intimidated and whatever else before modern video games huh? People always wanna blame something else instead of looking in the mirror.

Some people are just pieces of shyt.

while at the same time defending the 2nd amendment that floods the country with guns and makes things like this possible

The 2nd Amendment is just fine. Guns aren't the problem, people are the problem. Even if you outlawed guns, outlaws will still have guns (sounds like a Cam'ron line but it isn't). Also bear in mind that in Switzerland almost everyone owns a rifle and yet you don't hear about mass shootings there. In fact, it's one of the safest countries in the world with a relatively low crime rate:

Also. this is hardly a problem exclusive to the USA so lets not profile the country. Some similar recent shootings:

March 1996, Britain: A gunman burst into a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland, shot and killed 16 children and their teacher, then killed himself.

April 26, 2002, Germany: In the town of Erfurt in eastern Germany, 19-year-old Robert Steinhauser opened fire after saying he was not going to take a math test. He killed 12 teachers, a secretary, two pupils and a policeman at the Gutenberg Gymnasium, before killing himself.

Sept. 1, 2004, Russia: Three hundred and thirty three hostages, at least 186 of them children, died at School No. 1 in Beslan, Russia. The school was seized by rebels demanding Chechen independence. The deaths occurred during the chaotic storming of the school by Russian forces.

Sept. 23, 2008, Finland: Student Matti Saari opened fire in a vocational school in Kauhajoki in northwestern Finland, killing nine other students and one male staff member before killing himself.

Jan. 23, 2009, Belgium: A man with a white painted face and blackened eyes fatally stabbed two infants and a woman at childcare center in western Belgium.

Jan. 23, 2009, Norway: A policeman shot to death a female teacher and then shot himself in what appeared to be a quarrel between former lovers outside a school in the northern town of Tromsoe. The policeman died of his wounds days later.

March 11, 2009, Germany: A 17-year-old gunman dressed in black combat gear killed more than a dozen people, including nine students and three teachers at the Albertville Realschule school in Winnenden. He fled and later killed himself after a gunbattle with police.

White people have trouble taking responsiblity for their actions. Always pointing a finger with some excuse saying. This is why he did it. A video game.

both guns and people are the problem. i dont see why it always has to be either one or the other in these debates. obviously more access to guns in america is not working. just because it isnt a problem in switzerland doesn't mean we shouldn't adress the issue in america.

anyway, i was mostly trying to point out the hypocrisy of FOX news in defending one personal freedom (gun ownership) while at the same time, demonizing another one.

They always need a fukking scapegoat for their demonic insanity...

Its ridiculous how these sick white devils can put together hitlists, acquire a whole got damn arsenal while living under their parents roof...they parents just put up the its the games they play, my son was a good boy high on LSD and antidepressants all day...

 

[bright black]

kinda right...americans [mostly white people] have a healthy or unhealthy appetite for destructions..murder..and mayhem...we dont see our enjoyment of depictions of death..gore..and destruction as morbid or repugnant...we wouldnt dare attempt to find out if the images we absorb thru different media have a deleterious effect on our psyche...even if violence in the media has a pernicious effect on the psychological profile of an individual any manifestations would be excused;;unless you are black...

 

[GoldenGlove]

Breh... that pic literally infuriated me a lil bit reading the comments from those idiots.

The gaming industry bout to have a cold winter due to this tragedy. Kids' parents about to throw all of lil Danny's M for Mature games on his Christmas list in the bushes

 

[GoldenGlove]

I guess it's Mass Effects facebook page or some shyt (I'm not into that social crap). I guess the shooter played it, and now they're trying to blame ME for the shooting. kinda ironic to anyone that's played the game. I mean, sure there's guns and shooting, but it's hardly the main theme of the game, as opposed to COD, BF3, etc

The retarded part about that is that the Facebook page that people are referencing as the shooter's is actually his older brother's profile page.

yeah, I've honestly been staying away from the actual story after I saw all the confusion going around. I don't want to get caught up getting emotional about the wrong info
