I think so, but because he was brought up in a different era, he didn't hurt anyone.

This post contradicts your last post.

There's nothing to win.
An innocent woman was murdered.
Some people are allergic to pennicillin, some.
Some people can't eat gluten, some.
Just maybe some children may be sensitive or have underlying mental health problems/depression that hasn't been picked up and the catalyst for their violent outburst can be related to their violent games, not all children, some.
We don't know as parents what children we have been blessed with, that's why it's important as parents to do our best.
And your argument of violent games were ok for you, they may not be ok for others.
I can eat peanuts, but they could kill my daughter, genetically we are all different, and one rule does not apply for all.

Why is your schizophrenic friend a good example of your own argument when you've rejected my own example of the hundreds of people I've known to play games for a young age yet have never shown any signs of wanting to murder people?
Also your post really doesn't make sense, do you not think there was psychopaths or murder before 1990 or something? Was Myra Hyndley a time traveler that only killed because she played GTA? Murderers have always existed, psychopaths have always existed, triggers have always existed. Throughout the past century in particular various books, films and games have been banned because they were attributed with causing violent crimes yet banning them never decreased the amount of violent incidents that occurred afterwards. Blaming games (or any other outside 'factor') is a distraction. Blaming games just diverts attention away from the REAL issues at hand.
