they have taken the gamer theory and ran with it. there is no correlation between gamers and real life killers.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 36466796 There maybe no causation but there definately is a correlation.
besides its which came first - the chicken or the egg?
Did the gaming make him do this, or did he choose FPS type games to play because he was homicidal and that was just an outlet?
in other words, did the gaming cause the killing, or did the killer choose the games?
Its like he's probably been homicidal a while and just chose FPS gaming as an outlet for that mindset.
The columbine killers were both very big FPS players and are even known for some of their work in that area.
va tech killer was a loner who played FPS games also
the kid who killed his whole family a cpl months ago in Arizona w AR-15 was enfatuated with FPS gaming
the list goes on and on. Most american spree killers of the past 10 years have been into FPS gaming
- but that doesnt mean the gaming caused it, in any way
It only means correlation, which is not causation
