It was only a matter of time before video games were blamed. I'm waiting to see who will blame Hollywood and music. Even though there has been no link between Hollywood and music to violence, someone is going to try and blame them. But you know what's not going to be blamed? Our crazy gun loving culture and weak gun laws down here.
I really wish people would ask different questions and react differently to these kinds of violent events. It bothers me a great deal that the perpetrator gets labeled as a "monster" and no one really asks what caused the shooter to choose his course of action. These things will keep happening -- over and over and over again -- until society as a whole starts thinking about and addressing the real, underlying reasons why this type of violence occurs. It's more than one person's choice, in my opinion; it's about a society that permits and even encourages violence, and fails repeatedly to help people that are suffering from extreme mental anguish or illness
