Only a very disturbed person would commit murder because they saw it on scream and such a person will eventually commit murder anyway.

I'm wondering when we will find out that this disturbed teen was on psychiatric medication at the time

There is a new video game out (can't think of the name,) in which the scene is a typical, large shopping mall. The "players" are armed with automatic weapons, and points are awarded by how many "shoppers" the shooter kills.

The only game that I can think of that remotely fits that description is "State of Emergency". The first "level" is a shopping mall, but killing the "shoppers" (actually civillians running around in a panic during a riot) are never mission objectives and at times there is even a penalty for killing them.

France' Culture Minister(???):"...It raises all sorts of questions about official responsibility for material that can unbalance young minds..."

Ahhh,to think that I thought it was the 'parents responsibility' to raise the child.
Not that any of their 'Daily Leftist Propaganda' could have anything to do w/ the childrens actions right?
You have to admire those French.<-------Sarcasm Dripping
