Video games, not guns, to blame for school shooting, says Kentucky gov. - Sensationalist Headlines

Or maybe its the sickeningly high amount of attention we give school schootings in the news media that makes it appealing to messed up kids who crave attention like a meth addict craves his next hit. But you know, i could be wrong there

Senile out-of-touch old man who loves guns and hates technology tries to pass blame, more at 11.

[U][B]REFORM. THE. SCHOOL. POLICIES.[/B][/U]

I can already see it: kids will be checked for guns every day they go to school like in some fucking airport (hopefully not). This is fucking dumb

I don't blame guns either. Fix your fucking counselling in school and listen to students like they're human beings.

Hahah..ahhh, ah. No really, it's not a joke? oook then, I guess I'll have to get my fill of extreme violence/theft/sex on the regular TV/internet/movies then. What's this governor's name, Jack Thompson? Geez do people never learn.

Why is our government so fucking stupid?

[QUOTE=Breezeep;53135009]Why is our government so fucking stupid?[/QUOTE] What you mean? he's clearly a genius. You ban games, you cure violence. Read the Jack Thompson bible and you'll see the truth.

Is it the fucking 90's again? These fuckin' backwards morons.

[QUOTE=Deadrights;53135064]Why do video games always get blamed? What do you gain from saying this? I truly do not understand.[/QUOTE] People who are out of touch with technology, thinking video games are to blame while they sit on their ass watching TV for just as long as people video game

Maybe it was the fact that he had known a get issues and recorded homicidal tendencies and was reported to authorities at literally every level and NOT ONE OF THEM DID A SINGLE GODDAMN THING. The signs were laid out plain as day, clear as crystal and every time the buck was passed on to someone else. Games aren't the problem here. Gun laws aren't the problem here. The problem is in the 8 YEARS that people were reporting problems nobody put a goddamn thing on his record to prevent what everyone knew was going to happen.

Oh here we fucking go again.

It's true. I was playing Putt Putt goes to the Moon and next thing I remember was buying Guns online with detailed plans to shoot up a school. Thank god my Mum found me before it was too late.

I live in Kentucky, I have to read all the things this fuckwit and the people who believe him say even more often.

Exactly

The best part about this is that it doesn't seem to be any actual confirmation that he played video games at all

I really want this video to stop being relevant [video=youtube;5uwAo8lcAC4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uwAo8lcAC4[/video]

It's like blaming the snow for a car crash when the skies are clear blue and the sun's out in the middle of the summer time It shows that this guy is an out-of-touch fuck wit

[QUOTE=J!NX;53135441]The best part about this is that it doesn't seem to be any actual confirmation that he played video games at all[/QUOTE] I bet he ate breakfast though Every school shooter has eaten breakfast. Breakfast causes people to do this. This example is just as absurd as the video game link. How many millions of people play games with guns in them again

I'm almost certain some European countries game a lot more than the US, yet don't have this problem. Isn't that enough to show it's not the fault of video games?
