German police union boss calls for “killergame” ban

There’s more documented proof that politics causes violence and murder than videogames do. Should we ban politics too?

Please say we can.

I hate it when twunts like this man use tragedies like this to push his own agenda. Why try to look for actual causes when we can politically profit from it, eh?

This guy was shown how to fire a gun since being a child. Maybe, just maybe they should ban hand guns instead? Or maybe the parents should have paid closer attention to their son as his mental health deteriated. But no, this clever police officer wants to ban violent video games. Something with no real documented proof of ill effects the end user and millions of playing customers who haven’t felt the need to gun down innocents because they had a chip on their shoulder. Fear of the unknown that’s what this is. Pure and simple.

Burn the Books!

Are they going to ban religion too? thats calmed a few lives in the past.

Germany have really strict gun laws as is. Stricter than Switzerland fex. No shootings there (yet). They also have stricter game regulations than any other EU country.

So it’s neither access to guns nor violent games.

@ Tonka
No offence, but your logic is a bit strange.
History/statistics so far shows that school-shootings tend to take place in more northern states (North America, Germany, Finnland).
AFAIK there has not been a single “Amoklauf” in southern countries/continents like Italy, Spain, South America or Australia as of now.

And I would consider Switzerland a southern country because we have the TESSIN.
(even though Switzerland’s main territory is mostly north of the alps)

He’s indirectly admitting that banning videogames is completely the wrong way to go:
One-third of youths “regularly and addictively escape into a virtual world”, but violent behaviour is not that common. (If you were to compare violence among youths today with before the advent of videogames, I am pretty sure it’s far less pronounced today. Society did change a lot.)

Well he can just go eat a bag of dicks… what a retard
(i agree with gaz totally)

Germans are so funny and they are terrified with themselves. The have started 2 world wars and it looks like they are inches away from starting the 3rd and so desperately try to stop that. =))

They only started the second. The first one was started with the assassination of Franz Ferdinand by a Serbic student. Austria thought the Serbic state was involved and set them an ultimatum which Serbia only partially met. Austria declared war on Serbia. Russia came to help, because they feared to lose their influence in that area. Germany had a contract with Austria and came to help them in turn. Then there were a few more contracts between the nation of Europe and they all started fighting. Total madness, but they (the nations of Europe) more or less wanted a war anyway.

Technically Germany didnt start WWII either seeing as England and France declared war…

VG247. All history lesson, all the time.

Well, Germany did claim more land from Czechoslovakia after the Munich agreement and they did invade Poland.

@Psycho: Well, it’s more interesting than the sales figures of the Dreamcast in April 2007.

The cause of sudden mass violence is not the game played. It’s the location where the computer is used and a little known feature of human physiology, Subliminal Distraction.

Forty years ago the vision startle reflex was discovered to cause mental breaks for office workers. The cubicle has prevented Subliminal Distraction exposure since 1968.

The Finnish National Police actually published a picture of Auvinen’s home computer showing how he set up this problem. They refused the information after I reached them through the Finnish Embassy. No one believes this problem the first time they hear it.

The Virginia Tech, Redlake school, Joleka school, and Atlanta Day Trader killers all created the “special circumstances” for it. I have acknowledgment from VTech but nothing was done. This problem makes the shooter a victim and the school responsible for the failure to provide Cubicle Level Protection or warn students.

If you want to help stop these murders contact the DPolG or the German Police and request they investigate Subliminal Distraction as the cause of their shooting.

The picture of Auvinen’s computer beside to a closet mirror is on the ‘Redlake school shooting’ page at VisionAndPsychosis.Net. As he used the computer his reflection caused repeating failed attempts to trigger the startle reflex. This threat exposure will, over time, color thought and reason.
