How about folks quit blaming video games, rock music, and actually take responsibility for their own actions? Sure, music, television, and video games have a big impact on the way we think if we saturate our minds with it enough but that doesn't excuse murder. People in general just piss me off.

I was never a big believer in how much games, music and tv affected people until I went to the bar with some buddies after listening to Rage Against the Machine for 2 hours. Of 10 people 6 got kicked out for fighting. Apparently drinking and listening to someone scream "F*** you I won't do what you tell me" leads to some anger issues.

Still I would have to say it is still the person responsible. The entertainment may help it seem like a good idea but ultimately the person has to take responsibility.
