I posted it in another thread, but I'm going to re-post it here, because I see it as truth.

It's always typical to blame externals as being the cause of something. That's always been the case...people looking for some sort of scapegoat instead of laying blame directly at the feet of those responsible.

Music gets blamed.
Movies get blamed.
TV shows get blamed.
Guns get blamed.
Video games get blamed.

So on and so forth.
