I didn't have video games as a kid. We used to play "army' and pretend to be soldiers. That's what they blamed for violence then. A lot of the people who go off (like the shooting at naval facility the other day) tend to have had some serous issues that many people knew about. They are also on a lot of medication that tend to lower their acute perceptions and lower their inhibitions. Many are suicidal and want to go out while taking others with them to punish the world, parents schools etc. The meds and parenting issues are often ignored while people and media focus of things like Call of Duty. Seems like a feint to me.
