There may have been more to James murder,but,a certain video game played a part that is fact,as for their home lives ,they were no different than thousands of other children,the one came from a broken home,the ones father liked a drink,I know what kids see influences them,I've seen it with my own eyes.I can see nothing wrong with schools pointing out the dangers of some videos.

At best games can be a trigger but ANYTHING can be a trigger. Blaming games is just moronic. A smell or a colour or a certain sight could trigger a killer to kill. Do you just want to ban everything just in case and hope that the absence of a trigger isn't in itself a trigger?

I bet that even if you asked them seriously on who messed them up they would say it was the parents.

Video Games can make you more immune to violence, but it does not make you a killer, otherwise when I played GTA at age 7 I would've become a killer by now.
