CHESAPEAKE, Va. - Consumed with righting racial inequality and injustice, sniper suspect Lee Boyd Malvo became yesterday the latest young defendant to use the film The Matrix as part of an insanity defense to explain killings that seem to have no clear explanation.
The 1999 film has been used, with some success, in at least three other murder cases in which young defendants attempted to justify their crimes with allusions to the movie's philosophy that the world people live in is only a dream sequence controlled by a computer. Violence is condoned as a way to get out of the fake, oppressive world of The Matrix.

So, do movies and TV influence behavior or is The Matrix Has Me Defense just another BS ploy to get over on the system?

This is only one part of the "influence". This monster was also influenced by good people along the way. He chose to be the murdering, thieving monster he is and it wasn't like he even did it alone, he was part of a team.

"..The Matrix as part of an insanity defense.."
Hmmm. I thought they'd use the Chewbacca defense instead.

Then why did he shoot all of those black people? Obviously, if he was struggling against inequality, he'd shoot a number of black people proportional to their representation in the general local population. In other words, he'd be a quota sniper.

If I ever start murdering people, I'm going for the Oompa Loompa defense.

The "Matrix Defense" will probably work better than the "America Hating Illegal Alien Muslim Sympathizer" defense.
