So, I've been following this whole shooting thing more closely than I tend to follow most news stories, probably due to a combination of the fact that news has been put more into my face due to a class I'm taking, and the fact that there is an aspect to this shooting that I am interested to see develop (which I cannot talk about due to my desire not to break rules 1 and 2). Thusly, I've more or less decided that my opinions on this news story are more informed than my opinions on most of the other news stories. First of all, on the day of the shooting, you'll remember if you scroll down, I stated that video games were gonna be the first fall-guy on this one.

Well, well, well.

By reading/watching the news articles/video above, which was stated ON THE DAY OF, mind you, before they even knew who did it (for instance, in the first link, Jack Thompson refers to the killer as "whoever did this") one would draw the conclusion that people are grossly, grossly misinformed. Geraldo, on a Fox News broadcast I watched, blamed the movie Grindhouse, of all things.
In all seriousness, I don't think I need to refute Jack's statements, because I think he's done a better job doing it himself (when his voice cracks near the end while talking about his son... Priceless.), but I think that, at this moment, with the (admittedly small) amount of information we have available, there is no evidence to support the theory that the killer was a gamer. In fact, if looking for it, one finds evidence that he's NOT a gamer. His roommates never state that they saw him playing video games, in fact, most say that they only saw him writing. The general idea is that he didn't really play video games, watch movies, or hell, even read books.
The police found NO video games in his dorm when they searched it, and, in all honesty, this guy really doesn't seem like the type to game.
I really wouldn't be surprised if the box he sent to NBC turned out to contain a manifesto decrying, among other things, video games.

Point is, nobody really is looking at the ONLY obvious explanation in this case. It wasn't video games, movies, or TV that made him do it, it was the fact that he was

COMPLETELY BATSHIT CRAZY.
