Video games have nothing to do with anything. I played Dungeons & Dragons when I was a kid, and played plenty of video games back when I had time. Blaming video games or Hollywood or anything else is like saying "You're a drag racer, so you're going to drive like a maniac on the highway and cause a massive pileup with multiple fatalities." There is no cause and effect. It's understandable that people want to try to make sense of the insensible. The kid is a lunatic and a killer, period.
