    The media will try and make people think that it was gaming that caused this, but in actual fact it's society that does things like this because they're all just as small minded as the rest of the Murderers, Rapists, Thieves, etc...

    Before they said that it was gaming because he had a Poster on his wall, which in actual fact wasn't a video game it was a paintball tournament. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that.

    Fox news is basically a news channel for the idiotic, ignorant, mostly conservative christian populace of the southern States. It cashes in on those people's ignorance and need for sensationalism.

    The reason blame for events such as these are heaved upon things like video games/movies/music is because people need someone or something to blame. Blaming video games means that it wasn't just some random act that no one could have predicted, it help the frail human mind deal with the fact that at our core human beings are capable of horrific acts that have no causality. Imagine if walking down the street and knowing that any of the people on the side walk with you, on the bus/train or plane could at any moment do something unspeakable to you or your loved ones. And even though that could still happen the idea that something other than basic human nature is to blame for it keeps peoples hopes alive, allows them to live their lives. In the 60s Rock and roll was the scape goat, then tv and I am sure when the first books where printed they where blamed for random and senseless acts.

    It's also easier to explain than possibly the broader socio-economic and/or psychological factors.

    To your average person those are just big words used by the evil corporate cabal running the world to confuse common folk.
