"Video Games"? Really? How about this...


Seeing a lot of people trying to blame Video Games and movies for the Newtown Tragedy.

Has anyone given thought to the premise that the US gov't has been engaged in wars and tyranny for what seems like forever, and maybe this wanton disregard for other peoples lives being shown by our "leaders' has something to do with it?

How can we overlook this? The US is in two awful wars as we speak... both of them a waste of young men and women, resources, etc.

The US uses drones to kill indiscriminately...women, children, men, whatever...just kill them in the most cowardly way possible...

Maybe that's a part of how the rationalization for extreme violence is made in the minds of these rampage killers?

Just thinking out loud and apologize if this premise has been posted already.

Thanks
