Bobby...if you actually read the article he is saying that in the case of people with mental illness such as psychopathic, sociopathic, or other mental illness added with rage it can create this type of behavior. Sure, most people with mental illnesses dont go on mass murdering sprees but they may act out violently in other ways. Such as beating their girlfriend, harming themselves, harming animals, lashing out in physical or verbal ways.

Besides that, studies do support evidence of people that play these violent video games tend to be more violent.

But I see your point and I dont think that violence on tv, in the media, on the radio, in music video's or in video games makes people into killers. I think solely blaming it on these things is a serious issue that our society needs to address.
