The video games programming this young man’s head did not help.
If virtual reality can be successfully used to deprogram PTSD by the military it can be used to program evil actions as well.

You can blame anything other than the perpetrator if you wish but the truth is that there have always been people capable of horrible crimes. Evil people committed horrible acts before personal computers, before computer games, before the Internet, before there were “assault” weapons, before there were semiautomatic pistols, and before there were guns. Do you know what the worst school massacre was in the US and what the primary weapons were? Computer games were not responsible for that.
