Okay, then...
Ban rooftops and ban ‘violent’ video games, and ban the shooters and ban crowds and ban parades and ban Independence day.
The guns are not the problem.
I love the COD game platforms and have never had a thought to do what this whack job did.
You look at the guy and immediately know what a POS. He deserves a bullet in the head. I don’t care about his social media accounts. He’s a POS and needs a bullet to the head preferably at a public execution and shown live on TV where they miss purposely hitting his feet, hands, legs, arms and after 15-20 shots (60+ if you’re in Akron, Ohio) and take the kill shot. I’d recommend 20 to 30 minutes.
That would send the proper message to these scum.
“Violent video games like Call of Duty have often been cited as the motivation for real-life shootings”
I played Tiger Woods Golf, online for years, certainly one of the most docile video games. My game partner and I were playing another team and one of them started screaming at his little girl, who was probably around five. It escalated into him beating her, he was calling her every vile name imaginable, we could hear her screaming, the hits and the mother begging him to stop. It lasted at least ten minutes until he realized his earpiece was still on and he cut it off. I immediately contacted Xbox to report it and get help, they were ambivalent and said there was nothing they could do. That gamers personal information was not available. My game partner just happened to be on a Navy Seals support team and he tried to see what he could do, it was a dead end.
So a video game influenced a mass killer? Impossible! Inanimate firearms kill people! /s
Eerie? That’s the whole point of the game.
Good thing playing violent videos have no effect on young males.
Adam Lanza was a similar gamer IIRC.
