Bah. Everyone knows that true sociopaths play EVE.
Any bets on the author being willing to make the same association between Unabomber Ted Kazinski and the writings of Al Gore?
Alice Cooper pointed out that it’s just a lame excuse.
Wicked Young Man
Cold blue swastika tattooed on my skin
The ice in my veins the staples in my chin
I’ve got it carved in my forehead “Slave To My Sin”
Too violent for the brotherhood to ever take me in
Gonna write down my law in blood upon the street
To the cadence of a goose-step heavy metal beat
Wanna purify my race gonna turn up the heat
Just wanna make ‘em die and make the job complete
I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man
It’s not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig
I’m just a wicked young man
I like to run my body on heavy heavy fuel
I can punch through a wall I can kick like a mule
I got a pocketful of bullets and a blueprint of the school
I’m the devil’s little soldier I’m the devil’s little tool
I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man
It’s not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig
I’m just a wicked young man
I got every kind of chemical pumpin’ through my head
I read Mein Kampf daily just to keep my hatred fed
I never ever sleep I just lay in my bed
Dreamin’ of the day when everyone is dead
I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man
It’s not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig
I’m just a wicked young man
I am a vicious young man oh I am a vicious young man
I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man

Alice is never wrong.
The killer is just a wicked young man.
The guy could have enjoyed Tiger Woods Golf just as much.....sorry but the media has hated gaming almost since inception....if you are gaming you aren’t reading or watching them.
In this case, listening to Judas Priest records has been replaced with playing WoW.
The spread of the internet and online gaming has destroyed this correlation argument, just like the one for porn and violent crime. Now we have solid statistics that show, even with explosive rise in the playing of violent video games, there is no correlation to violent crimes. There are many other activities which show a stronger correlation. For example, there are probably only a few serial killers/mass murdered who were heavily into video games, but dozens who were football players. That doesn’t mean football causes violence either.
