Video games. Why were there no mass shootings until the advent of video games in the late eighties-early nineties?
Of course only a small minority of gamers will ever be shooters. But knowledge of whether mass shooters have also been players of violent games prior to their attacks would be useful.
The real reason is spiritual in nature. Whatever “earthly” reasons there may be, we will never learn them from the Fake News Media. They can’t get squat right. Somehow, within minutes of the El Paso shooting, every news outlet, on TV and radio was reporting 18 dead. And then in the next breath admitting that the situation was still unfolding and the number of dead was unconfirmed. So where did the number come from? I’d start there. SOMEbody knews something.
Amos and Andy? Or because the Courts refuse to execute murders?
re:
I’m playing a video game right now.
I’ve played them since I was seven years old.
When am I going to be involved in a mass shooting on the perp end?
Insufficient info with which to draw a conclusion; Please describe your family life, your education, and your spiritual life ...
(not really; I don’t mean to pry, but, you get the idea.)
They weren’t “doing horribly”. They were just being themselves. Losers. Lunatics. America-hating seditionists.
I think you are partly correct. Kids start these games at a very early age and the skill becomes deeply implanted, before there is any development of a sense of right and wrong.
The WHO has declared gaming to be an addiction. I think that that is possible.

In the 1980’s we had more kids in daycare than being raised at home by a family member. This is a first in all of human history.
We also started pumping boys brains full of adhd pills and anti depressents starting in the 80’s. Video games are not helping but I don’t think they are the cause. The antidepressants are key because they are known to increase suicidal thoughts and the SSRI type did not exist until Prozac was released in the 80’s.
You will never see this discussed ever, because the print and TV media get half of their revenue from drug ads.
Please give me the cite to that study. Thank you.
re: “The real reason is spiritual in nature. Whatever “earthly” reasons there may be, we will never learn them from the Fake News Media.”
That’s for sure, on all points.
I agree with your two points.
Never much of a gamer. After a week of fixing problems for idiots, staring at a box for more hours doesn’t happen much now.
Please see post 27. Thank-you.
It is a multifacet issue. The psychoactive drugs given to children make them open to suggestion. Then they see the media making the shooters famous. Then we have fatherless homes, so they aren’t taught how to direct their masculinity in a positive fashion. Then you have video games glorifying the violence.
Correlation is not causation.
The calculus is that the Blacks will still overwhelmingly vote D-rat and the Browns, people receiving their livelihoods from the government and the assorted pervert groups will be sufficient to regain power.
The country is being stolen from its creators and handed to lesser groups to buy votes.

THE REAL CAUSE OF MASS SHOOTINGS
No grasp of reality
Lame TV programs
Computer meme basement dwellers
Junk music
Be a sheep follow the trends
Crazy
Stupidity (#1 Killer)
Drugs
To lazy to learn anything of worth
Prior to 24 hr national cable news, news events were local issues. Big events were covered but not hyped by the MM.
Now local events make national headline news in the news cycle and inspire those who are angry and insane to carry out their plans and up the ante.
Movies give angry and crazy people characters and heroes they can emulate.
If Democrats toned down their rhetoric there would be fewer of these events.
There were mass shootings before video games.
This thought is pretty stupid.
The only area it is talked is online.
