“As evil as this sounds he was a stupid b*****d with no friends. Now the media will look at this and blame it on violent games, thanks dick head!”

Good job dude, more food for Jack Thompson. It’s a given that the media is going to target all the things he listen, and that’s exactly what this a’hole wanted. Just like Columbine, they focues on the games and music they played and not even concidered the fact they were brought up on a military base.

I wonder what percent of murderers enjoyed heterosexual sex, clearly heterosexual sex is to blame for these atrocities!

Right . . . well, if there’s any silver lining to this, at least Jack Thompson and the Media-That-Be aren’t promoting burning Ray Bradbury books. That’d just be plain dumb irony – though I wouldn’t put it above them.

As Lucas says I don;t think its a police or investigative issue but a media one.

I think police procedure is basically the same across the board the issue comes with the media portrayal of these events and the need for American society to latch on and look for a blame indicator.

Joelteon7 I agree with ya and I am an American, the media here has a grotesque habit for bloating anything and everything out of proportion and taking things, such as playing violent video games, out of context.

I can’t wait to see what “he who must not be named” does to take this out of context and use it against gamers.

Quite pointant stuff, in his profile. 1942, Existentialism…I don’t mean to be blunt or rude in terms of referring to America, but I sincerely belive the Finnish authorities will look at the case as it is, not if he played computer games, which seems to be a particular trait for American authorities to pick up on.
