I have yet to see any such collection of photos!

I tire of seeing the photo of the shooter...almost everywhere though.

Ive seen crazy people before...thank you very much.

So?

I just played “World at War” and I have no predilections to harm another living being.

Well, do keep in mind that video games are another kind of Hollywood, run by the same people.

I guess that means Obama needs to use his executive powers to require background checks, waiting periods and “One-Game-a-Month” rules for violent video games...

...and he needs to make sure he closes the “video game convention loophole”.

No!!! No!!! Don't you see, the gun just jumped into this poor innocent veteran's hands and started firing itself at unarmed people.

It's time for outright confiscation of these dangerous self-acting machines before they come to your town and start mowing people down.

I have no problem in believing that there are some marginal personalities/mental cases, which are very susceptible to violent video games and can make them “turn”. There probably isn’t a “solution” to this problem that makes sense in a free society, but its something that I won’t neccessarily deny.

All of the FPS/violent video games I’ve been playing over the last 20 years must have been faulty because I utterly failed to go on a killing spree.

Shooting random people for real just doesn’t sound nearly as fun...

What I have been curious about—did he target white victims, and the MSM doesn’t want us to know? Seems if he was an equal opportunity random shooter, there’d be diversity of outcome!
