Washington youth blames games for inspiring violent crime

Murderer says violent “X” caused him to murder. That seems logical, I mean its not like he is trying to get out of anything, right?

People tend to blame on everything to escape their guilt.

“He allegedly has a history of poor behaviour and instability”: This sounds like the real reason. Perhaps games may have brought it on at most.. But it wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t mentally unstable.

I wonder if it was a game about the dog that told David Berkowitz to kill people. I believe it’s name was Bullshit Excuse.

How about, don’t allow shitty parents to have kids?

And yet again we should be stressing the issues of careless parents. For this 14 year old to be playing games 24/7 and have access to violent ones at that on top of the father owning an accessible gun loaded and or the clips in plain sight shows what? Negligence of the parents in properly raising their child.

Don’t pin this on games because this started in the home first and ended in the court room.

It’s easier to blame games than tending mental illness. But anyway, nothing will stop the game industry for a reason: it’s already bigger than movie and music industry combined.

Violence and Video games, here we go again.
Do these people even know what the “children” are doing today?

So what we must do now?

Mmmmmmmmmmmm…..!!!!!

So if you play SimCity, you will become a city planner when you grow up???

I got a good laugh when some news story talked about how back in the day playing SimCity, we all didn’t grow up wanting to become city planners…

How sick he must be to kill BOTH perents!
So even after first kill , he didn’t felt anything ?!

Hmm, I smell a rat. Why would he blame games? If he had the mental wherewithal to identify that games were making him an outwardly angry person then how in the hell did he not correctly identify internal warning signs when he was picking up a gun? I think that someone is putting words in his mouth personally and hoping that the blame will shift. Glad he’s being tried as an adult. But the identification and care of mental health issues should be top priority even more than gun control.

@9 Attempted murder, not murder btw.

As sad as this is, on the boxes of the video games it says “Mature 17+” He is a 14 year old kid playing video games that weren’t designed for someone of his age. Sounds like another case of BAD PARENTING!

Lawyer: “Would you say Videogames made you violent?”

Teenager: “Eerrrmm…sure, that’s it – Videogames!”

You little shit

Ok the whole world must now stop playing video games because a 14 year old shot his parents and told the police “the video games made me violent” haah?! it is never video games fault, it can be parents fault for letting their under 18 mental case play a violent game i have played only violent games and the result of that? I have learned english and did it very well too, will these people stop with shit like this?

# 10 that is correct! they write “For murder” so more people can see it, and someone did put the words in his mouth with hope that he doesn´t get a big punishment, it was Attempt to murder not MURDER ya cunts!
