This is just idiotic. The news anchor is talking about these idiotic kids clearly doing what their parents have convinced them is the right thing to do as if it's some sort of movement. She even used that word. The "movement" to "ditch violent video games". Seriously, when are people going to get their heads out of their asses and realize that the assumption that a violent video game has ever caused any act of murder against another human being is absurd? People who react violently and aggressively to certain situations (in-game or otherwise) have mental problems NOT caused by video games.

Of all the scapegoats, why this one? You know what else I'm sure Adam Lanza liked? Ice Cream. It's clear that if someone eats Ice Cream enough, they will get lots of brain freezes which kill brain cells and make you mentally unstable. THROW OUT YOUR ICE CREAM! ICE CREAM KILLS!

Funny how massacres and atrocities happen in 3rd world countries without the influence of video games...

It's just the media's scape goat for when bad things happen.

On the Left

Godshatter: I can go all the way with someone without being attracted to them.
CamCamm: How does that work?
Godshatter: I'm easily aroused by anything that moves. It's a curse.
Brain says 'No, that's ugly', body says 'ugly is fine with me'.

Umad OP? Getting angry OP? What games do you play OP?

Halo CE- Amazing
Halo 2- Revolutionary
Halo 3- Masterpiece
Halo Reach- The Black Sheep of the bunch
Halo 4- Incredible

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

It's stupid to think a video game makes some sick and disturbed psycho kill innocent people. It's just a disturbed individual in the first place.

Foman is my favorite moderator. <3

If they really threw a bunch of Xbox discs in the trash, I bet some neighborhood kids went trash can diving later that evening.

I'm sure it doesn't help those who already have mental problems.

But that can't be helped. Kids shouldn't be playing those games anyway, and adults with issues would probably find some other venue.

The sad thing is that so many people fall for the dirty agenda of the media.

NOTE: This is my new primary account. My old account was AgentCOPP1, and I changed it because it was linked to a gamertag that I no longer use.

The retards never stop.

How is this even a news article? Do news teams wander around looking for things to report on?

Oh really? Please feel free to show me one conclusive study that shows that video games lead to violence, let alone murder.

You guys remember a few days back when that member posted a link to a study that linked video games to increased aggression in teens and kids? That was -blam!- hilarious watching you nerds flip -blam!- over your precious video games. Go outside virgins.
