i do think that some media gives some ideas they would not have thought of if they hadn't seen it.

A minuscule percentage maybe. But look at what alcohol does to people every single weekend. They're under the influence of alcohol and do things, silly, or sometimes more serious things they wouldn't dream of doing in their everyday regular lives.

Perhaps these boys had had a drink before they did this? That should be a question asked too. You know why it isn't though? Because most people who use media like films they're not interested in, music they're not interested in, tv they're not interested in, games they're not interested in as something to blame for these kind of things is because they.....Have no interest in them, and don't get pleasure from the those things, so sod it, that's to blame, ban it!!

Blame a bottle of gin on a violent crime, and watch the same people usually ban happy on stuff they don't care for, jump on the defence.

I agree with you Kazanne that media can give these disturbed people a method into how to commit their crimes.

I feel where I'm going to diverge from SB's viewpoint, is that I do believe that these people were already mentally off, and were going to commit a heinous crime eventually anyway, it just would've been a different victim most likely being the biggest difference.
