That's all we need is another knee jerk reaction without the effort and time needed to understand the issues. If they ban violent games what's to stop little helmut illegally downloading them online ? Face the facts one or two oddballs going loopy is understandable in comparison with the population 0.0000000000000001% runs amok now and then.

How about the German Foundation for Crime focus on the banker criminals that have blackmailed E.U states into extorting money for their gambling methods and culture of greed. They should effectuate new laws to punish similar crimes from being carried out in the future, instead of bending over and taking it up the ass (in other words the peoples ass). I digress back to the subject this is life we can't protect everyone from themselves its an illusion otherwise go polish big brothers balls !

OWWW MY DAMN KNEE

There is a difference between what you think is the reason for an action and what the actual reason is, when you have not considered the evidence in any great depth.

The kid had issues, they were overlooked.

People seem to think that the cause and effect chain goes like this:

plays violent videogames --> commits murder

yet ignore that it is far more likely that:

has violent tendencies/thoughts/ideas/ability to follow through --> natural to have an interest in violent games ( AND gun shooting ranges AND violent films AND anything else that supports their natural interests.)
