This is true, I played one game of Tetris and immediately started throwing bricks off of my roof at my neighbors.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was right on that subject. The Norwegian massmurderer Breivik was known to have practised on-line, before his hideous rampade!
-
I played (violent) video games growing up, and despite the odds, I'm a successful adult contributing to society. It's a miracle, really.
-
Maybe you had the guidance of good parents. Breivik never had that; just the hatred his mother had towards his absent father:-/
-
Sounds like the issues were more than just video games. Video games are art, just like books, movies, and television. Also something you fail to examine is the positive effects video games can have on spacial cognition and hand-eye coordination.
-
Absolutely. But like in the case of most other serious diseases; it's a combination of different ingredients that may prove harmless to most of us but turns lethal in 1 out of 1000 cases.
-
I can maybe get behind that, but I don't think video games are the reason that these people commit such atrocities. At best, they provide a virtual world where they can act out their fantasies. The conditions that led them to commit these acts were already present.
-
In those predisposed to violence, the urge will probably always be there to act it out in reality. Violent games, videos and films will only feed their fantasies, blur their sense of the limits between fantasy and reality and help push them over the edge.

It can’t just be the game surely the person playing said game would be a more bigger part in that

Did Dr. Donald get his Psychology degree through Trump University?

Every country has the same "violent" games, yet they don't have the mass shootings. Must be because they don't allow easy, unfettered access to guns.

This is a pretty lazy approach to such a severe issue

I am not a fan of Trump but in this case he is absolutely right the German neuroscientist Manfred Spitzer has been putting this forward for quite a while now violence on TV and in video games influences adolescents in a very negative way
#rolemodelneeded -
These games are played around the world. So why don't they all shoot up their school? Maybe because the responsibility is on the person. Been gaming since I was a kid. I have a degree and a career with no criminal history. But games are the problem right? SMH...
-
Not everyone who plays video games becomes a killer - that's not the point - but the acceptance for violence is surely higher and also the ethical barrier is lowered to commit a crime - what happens if one is isolated and desperate? Our adolescents should not be taught violence.
-
Ok except you can't prove any of those claims. Again I don't know any gamer who is likely to just accept that someone being gunned down is normal. And it's asinine to think so. You know what gamers do? Promote charity. Positivity. Community. Not violence.
-
Matthew that is common sense, anyway it is not only happening in America-as mentioned earlier one of the leading neuroscientists Manfred Spitzer has explained this in detail-how do small children learn they imitate their surrounding famous social experiment Kasper Hauser
