Well in the UK a teacher was murdered in a classroom by a student with a knife. This is horrible and tragic , but the media once again blame the fact that the student played video games, violent ones in general. This is stupid and I don't believe its' the fault of the video games at all. I no this is also a recurring problem in the US too with the media pushing the blame on video games. IMO this is just an excuse, because they can't find any other information out as to why people would do this. Just, because a person plays violent video games does not mean they want to 360 no scope every human they see. They are clearly not looking into the background of why someone would want to do this, as well as looking into any medial conditions. What do you guys think of this?

Not a rant btw just my thoughts

i agree, its like the media has to blame something so they check if the child plays video games, they see one M+ game and the entire story blows up, just to get the views.

I remember seeing this it was in the sun I think.

He was bullied, had mental issues and was on medication yet some how they overlook this and blame it on dark souls 2 etc.

It's an absolute joke.

Yep, I mean of course it's horrible but blaming it on that is worse. :/

These kids that are doing this stuff are just stupid and insane. simple as that. Its not because of video games....doesnt even make sense. "Well now that Ive played call of duty im gonna go kill people" <sounds straight up dumb. It is %100 the kids fault and he deserves the applicable punishment.

I think they just blame video games for most of schools murders and that, I don't think video games cause this but I do think it can give them idea on how to kill.
