Gaming Blamed For Shootings

Put down your controllers and throw out all FPS games immediately, the media demands it! Once again "violent video games" are being blamed for crimes by young adults and children. Apparently, Jack Thompson (a prominent campaigner against violence in video games), is lead to believe that last weeks shooting in North Carolina was a direct result of video game violence. Emotional issue's couldn't possibly be the reason this kid has killed his father and shot up his school. Come on, if your kid is playing FPS games all day every day, and salivating over the blood content, maybe he has a problem. These fucking kids are retarded with their cries for help. For more information check out the full article at The Register. Go figure it's a UK-based website.

Even if videogames played SOME role, I want to know how the companies are legally, or morally culpable.

For an interesting case that serves as a sort of precedent for legal issues like this, see http://www.tjcenter.org/ArtOnTrial/ozzy.html or any other site related to that case.
