Being aware of the signs is a much more effective tool of prevention then blindly blaming games for these crimes. I can't remember the last time there's been an incident like this where there hasn't been signs ahead of time. There's always messages or a change in behavior or something, we just need to raise awareness of it and get people to act (appropriately) when they see troubling signs instead of just ignoring it.

Ok i give this as an example, someone i know is schizophrenic, he heard voices telling him to hurt other people, he is now in his 50's, imagine if he'd been a teenager right now, playing violent games, could the games have triggered him to be violent? I think so, but because he was brought up in a different era, he didn't hurt anyone.
