My view on video games causing death and the VT rampage
Seems in a telephone interview on Fox News Jack blamed, wait for it, wait for it......... VIDEOGAMES! Despite the fact that no information has been released on why the gunman killed 31 people before being killed. Not only is this a tragedy that so many people died, but now video games are gonna be blamed, no one is gonna look into the gunman's profile, and us gamers are gonna be treated as "Victims" while video game companies like Rockstar and Epic are gonna once again be criticized for what clearly should be the parents job. What disgusts me most, is how I'm hearing at the end of the interview Jack started crying and talking about the 14 year old beside him and how he hopes video game companies won't take his mind.
My parents recently allowed me to play M rated games, BECAUSE I'M RESPONSIBLE. I'm 16, my parents let me watch R rated movies, I don't go around killing people. Sure some of the movies my friends and me make are based on these movies, but it's acting with toy guns. When I get mad, I play video games. I don't blow the head off whoever pissed me off. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation.
Parents, SEE IF YOUR KIDS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PLAYING THE MORE MATURE GAMES. If they're not, DON'T LET THEM PLAY THEM. Take note of your kids, make sure they don't get into trouble. Don't neglect them, and when they do something wrong, don't use games as a scapegoat. The future depends on these kids, so know your kid.
I'm sure if Jack saw this he'd think I had just been brainwashed and since I'm not a father, my opinion is moot, but I feel it needs to be heard. My condolenses for the victims of the shooting.
