With all the hysterics I can almost see gamers becoming the modern day Witches. Salem Gamer Trial anyone? Time to hunt some gamers? I mean really.. what are they going to do? Round up everyone who happens to like playing video games into concentration camps? Timmy: "I like to play video games" Them: "Get a rope!"

I don't think it's right to blame something like that on depression either though.. there are many people who are depressed who wouldn't take another persons life. Something like that is probably caused by a great number of things. Perhaps it's just easy to pin the blame on one thing but if it causes them to treat certain types of people like Gamers or depressed people badly then they are treading the wrong path.

I'm glad to see this article put the blame squarely on the head of the shooter. Although if you are to analyze him you have to know which thing is the thing that most likely caused him to be the way he was and take it from me it probably wasn't either depression or games.

The entry I wrote yesterday wasn't directly related although it's oddly appropriate because of how the media has wasted no time blaming video games for that latest tragedy. They have even made up stories to push their own agenda.

Even Dr. Phil has joined in and before I didn't really take him as fully credible or even a real Doctor. Now though his credibility is even lower now in my opinion. I kind of consider him one of those Cracker Jack Doctors. Ones who probably got their degree out of a box of cracker jack.

Cracker Jack Thompson... don't say his name into a monitor five times in a dark computer lab at midnight or you'll invoke him. ;)
