I wrote this piece for Huff Po in late December, 2012. For some reason, the editors wouldn’t print it. Like every other article I’d written, I submitted the piece on their backstage for signed bloggers, but nothing happened. It didn’t go up on their site. I waited, and it didn’t happen.
A few days went by. Then a week. I contacted the editors, and they didn’t respond. Then I contacted again, and they let me know that they wouldn’t publish the piece.
I asked why.
No response.
I emailed again.
No response again.
And now they won’t let me write anything at all. I’m off the blogroll.
So I must have touched a nerve. And that made me ask, who’s paying salaries here?
Why is the Huffington Post’s Tech section so popular?
Who is advertising?
Who is vetting content?
What follows is an op-ed article on a piece of the school shooter puzzle. I don’t pretend that this covers everything, but here is a key component from my point of view. And as a current high school teacher and a former troubled teen, I have a strong opinion on the topic.
This is what the Huffington Post doesn’t want its readers to see.[/quote]

Maybe this person needs help considering he never got any counseling.
So basically this author got caught with a loaded gun at school, claims he never ended up killing anyone because he didn't play video games.
Here's a great bit
[QUOTE]But there is one significant difference between me at 16 and 17 years of age and most high school shooters: I didn’t play violent video games.
As a child, my mother taught me that all video games were “evil.” That’s the word she used. And although that word might be a little extreme, I grew up thinking that there was something very, very wrong with pretending on a video screen. My mother also called playing video games “wasting your life” and “dumbing yourself down.” I thought my mother was ridiculous, but her opinions stuck with me anyway.[/QUOTE]
Nope not biased or crazy at all.

I have a feeling this guy's a religious nut too considering the comments his mother made.

I can't believe they let this man become a teacher. He shouldn't be allowed within 10 miles of a school.
Solid comments right here
[quote]Shootings happened before videogames. So did War. Ever played Cowboys and Indians as a kid? That was essentially shooting at somebody else. The actual practice and movement, all the way up to a physical gun making a “pop” sound and the other person falling down dead. What about playing “guns”. Cap guns, squirt guns, paintball …
These games don’t belong, nor are they marketed towards children. If they are playing them then it’s the parent’s fault. There are a lot of things that children shouldn’t have access to. Do we ban all violent movies? Zero Dark Thirty shows exactly how to plan an assassination. Die Hard? Any war movie ever made? What about violent books where they track serial killers and how to conceal your evidence?
I’m 37 and an avid gamer. I have a 7 year old a fiance’ that I play with. None of us want to murder people in real life or consider this “training”. I don’t, nor will I let my child play certain games.
We might as well start blaming everything that these people have in common. There are millions upon millions of videogames out there, millions of them being played. Don’t you think we’d have some hard evidence by now? Something linking one to the other? Or at least a more widespread epidemic?
I find it extremely hypocritical of society when we are trying to point the finger at videogames when the ones in question are CLEARLY marked for sale to adults while we sell toy guns to any child that can walk into a Toys R Us.
I’ve played tons of hours of racing games, it hasn’t made me a better driver. I’ve played a lot of airplane/flying games, I still can’t fly a plane. In fact I’ve been a superhero such as Spiderman yet for some reason, I still can’t sling a web. But I guess when it comes to shooting guns (those things readily available as toys and no age restriction to buy them) I’m a trained professional who has been desensitized and it’s only a matter of time.
Why don’t we take a look at the REAL problem. Mental health, parenting, and overall ownership for what our children do.[/quote]
[quote]why are we so concerned with highly-publicized school shootings in our analysis? is this some weird artifact of our obsession with celebrity? the fact of the matter is, if we look at broader youth violence trends, the “epidemic” of the eighties and early nineties peaked in 1993, and youth violence has been in sharp decline since then. (I can link the surgeon general’s report if you want an awkward hyperlink here.)
coincidentally, the first FPS anyone played in any quantity (Doom) came out in 1993.
the obvious inference to be drawn here if we assume that video games have a strong effect on behavior is that video games allow safe manifestation of aggression in controlled environments, and that as a result the majority of people who play them are responding with less aggression in their daily lives. a corresponding uptick in “lone wolf” school shootings might actually be the result of that – these are the outliers, who would otherwise be joining street gangs and taking their violence to the streets, but since gangs are fewer & weaker this is harder to do.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Corndog Ninja;40484262]Solid comments right here[/QUOTE]
That first one is spot on. The second sounds very plausible, but more like speculation and deflection rather than anything else.
oh wow. Stop blaming video games you utter fucking morons.
i dont even know how they come to think these things.
I don't know why they didn't publish his articles, considering the some of the blogs that HuffPo hosts.
It always goes back to the idea of finding a scapegoat, which is nothing new. Right now it's video games. Before that it was rap music, violent movies, Dungeons and Dragons... heck, people even suspected that Jack the Ripper was 'inspired' by a performance of [I]Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.[/I] No matter where you start from, people with problems will latch onto that stuff.
I think it's a matter of access to stuff. Ratings are still the best thing for people to use, I like how ratings (movies more so than games) are emphasized as something that parents look at to decide for their kids.
My parents were pretty strict about that stuff - I didn't start playing M games until I was 17. I remember when Halo first came out and my younger brother's eight-year-old friends were talking about playing it. My naive mind was flabbergasted that these young'uns were playing a game [I]nine years[/I] before they were "supposed" to.
fucking kids killing people with their boom bap music, boom bap just like the sound of a gun i tell you what
I suspect that a lot of these reactions stem from ignorance as well. No disrespect, but to outsiders video games can be a very daunting thing.
I was talking with my parents about this recently, and brought up the idea of video games as training/practice/rehearsal for IRL violence. My mom (who has never played a shooter and has only seen me play TF2 once or twice) thought it sounded pretty plausible. I explained that it wouldn't really work out that well - video games (especially modern multiplayer shooters) emphasize quick play, with frequent death/respawn cycles. Even supposing a game had the exact map layout of the prospective target area (like the urban legend about Columbine and DOOM) it still would hardly be conducive to planning out because gameplay and slaughter are incredibly different.
People still believe this bullshit? Like it was said before many, many times, videogames are just a scapegoat. Replace " videogames " with violent movies, rap/metal music, Marilyn Manson or any other shit you manage to pull out of your ass and you get the " cause of violence in the youth of today " .
If videogames are really the cause of violence, then I wanna know what videogame(s) have people been playing for the last couple of thousand years or so.
I've never brought a gun to school. Must be all those video games I've played.
maybe they didn't publish it because the article was actually pretty creepy.
it probably had nothing to do with him talking about video games.

Don't worry, you have to say it three times, in front of a mirror.

This. From what I read, it didn't look like he was right in the head.
But really, if more people just got all their combat-training from Call of Duty like he claims, the world would be a much safer place; because those games are so shit at showing how shooting works, no kid would figure out how to work a gun.

Another quality comment.
[quote] I considered killing myself, but more often I thought about killing others.
I carried a loaded pistol my junior year in high school. I stuffed it in my belt, ready for use.
The next year, I carried a sawed-off shotgun in my backpack. I liked guns and I had access to them. But I also carried a sheath-knife. I was obsessed with weapons of all kind. For a while, I carried a framing hammer.[/quote]

I mean, seriously, dude had issues.
His (shaky) thesis seems built on two points:
>I brought guns to school
>I didn't play violent video games
>I didn't shoot people
>They brought guns to school
>They played violent video games
>They shot people
>Therefore video games cause people to shoot up schools
and
>I brought guns to school
>I went outside
>I didn't murder people
>They brought guns to school
>They didn't go outside
>They murdered people
>Therefore going outside causes people to not shoot up schools
I mean, damn. He even mentions offhand that he didn't receive any counseling at all despite his loner/violent/depressive tendencies and doesn't expand on that subject at all. Rather, he just non-sequiters into the outdoors.
