i know. i think that guy was on antidepression drugs..... and he always wrote stories with horrible scenes like using chansaws and killing many ppl, so u can tell that he was one of those weird gory ppl.

The guy was screwed up in the head, he was a loner, I doubt many people were nice to him...Did you see his stories he wrote? He like wrote about this kid who accused his dad of molesting him, and about these 3 teenagers who go to a casino and talk about killing their teachers...and the first girl who got killed, they said he wanted a relationship with her or something. But yeah, its a terrible thing. Pretty much every channel has it on right now.

yeah....its pretty obvious that he had problems, that's why they wanted him to see the school counsiler.Jordan said:
Exactly. 30 people probably die every hour in schools in developing countries because of shootings and massacres, and none of use even bat an eye. But then again, in middle eastern news they probably don't have anything on this shooting, just like we don't have any news about some of the horrible crap that goes on there, but that's completely natural. It's an instinct for humans to care more about something that they can relate to; something that's closer to them.the_SD_local said:
Dude, I hate jack thompson as much as you and I also play video games, but I'm saying that some people just weren't meant to play them because they're messed in the head and can't tell the difference between what is acceptable in a game and what is acceptable in real life.Brian Boston said:

Meh, thats like saying you can't watch TV or a movie or generally go out in public. Violence is everywhere, you cannot hide that.

Im pretty sure video games didn't play a role in this. The kid was mentally unstable, the school was notified about it, same with the cops (he was stalking 2 chicks). I don't have any proof to back this up, but my teach said today that the dude was like in a mental home or something but let out because they said he wasn't a threat to anyone but himself if he saw a therapist... bullshit.Dre said:

i wrote this on the comeupbmx board too, so if it looks familiar....you're right.
upon thinking about it for a while on my couch, with some hot chocolate, i think i've figured out the kids motives behind it. im in no way sayint that what he did was right, or justifying what he did in any way.
he was a fucked up kid to begin with, no doubt about it. when he was in elementary / middle school / high school kids fucked with him cause he had a nasal, odd half american / half asian voice, (kind of like mine) so he just NEVER talked. I would assume this would create some sort of psychological damage on him, making him not want to talk to ANYONE and make him basically want to shut out everyone else other than himself, explaining why he didn't talk to his dorm mate who tried to be his friend / be friendly.
well, actions speak louder than words right? seeing as to how he was as close to mute as you can get without being mute, ruthlessly killing 33 people could have been the "loudest" way of saying "fuck you" to all the kids who used to fuck with him back in the day. noone would have listened to him if he posted his problems on the internet, they probably woulda lol'd at him, and he saw this as the right thing to do in his mind, so he didn't think he was fucked up in the head, so a psychologist was out of the question for himself.
well, i was high when i thought about it so i gotta be right, right?

I just did a current events report about this study about violent video games. As it turns out video games do NOT cause gamers to be violent in real life. In fact, for gamers, and I quote "The violence helps make the play exhilaratingly out of reach of ordinary life." But it also does say that for "unhinged" gamers it desensitizes them for violence in real life. something like that. Well if you want to read more heres a link: http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/fun.games/04/18/violent.video.games.reut/index.html

what hapened to his parents??? my friends told me that they killed themsleves but i dont believe them.
I was reading an old Playstation Magazine and in the back one of the editors was saying something about the effects of violent video games on kids. I thought it was really appropriate for the occasion, even though it was written before the massacre.
"There is a game that is rooted in American culture, that appears to be just as violents as it looks. Theres frequent, documented evidence of players and even spectators committing real world crimes. Players routinely inflict real, phisical injuries upon there opponents in typical play. There were 23 documented deaths associated with this game in 2001 alone. But in spite of all this evidence, this game is not only tolerated in this country, but acutally celebrated. Young people are encouraged to play it, highschools even hold weekly competitions on school property! And those who do it professionally are paid on average, millions of dollars a year. You have probably even played it your self.
It's called football.
And why isn't anyone concerned about the likelihood of kids raised on football going out and randomly chasing, tackling, or stiff arming innocent bystanders on the street?
Becuase it's just a game."
amen.

Are you fucking retarded, football is a fucking sport, the deaths that happen from it are accidental, so are the deaths that happen in almost every other sport besides extreme suiciding.
And I don't really actually think that video games had an effect on the kid, but I was just going by the stereotype that most Asians play computer games..
