Adam Lanza - Connecticut Killings

[DJ-Daz]

The Sun are already portraying Adam Lanza as a loner who plays violent video games. Lanza has been described as a "goth" a "loner" and a "genius" as cops try to work out a motive for the bloodbath.

So the Sun's agenda is violence in video games, but what about films and TV? There's always violence and anger in Eastenders, Corrie, and even Emmerdale, so you don't have to look very far to find it.

But as I've been told by several therapists the damage is done when we go to school by the bullying (physical and psychological). I think I turned to games as a release and to gain some sort control. Had I had access to guns would it have turned out any different? I honestly don't know. But I seriously doubt being a video game player made me more violent.

But back then the best detail we could expect would be these:


Now Adam Lanza would have started playing at say 5 years old, thats 15 years ago, so what could he have seen?
Carmageddon would have been one, Doom, Doom 2, G-Police, The House of The Dead and many more, and yes I've listed some of the more violent games. But they're hardly immersive and likely to kick off a child into psychosis.

Recent studies have actually found that a lot of people live with the psychosis gene and it does nothing to their personality, but you need both the gene and either severe bullying or/and bad parenting to cause a trigger and even then you need to develop certain traits that caring parents and family will probably pick up on, and by all accounts his family cared for him. So why would he go off the deep end and do something like this? I guess we'll never know since he took his own life, by the way, psycho's don't kill themselves, they feel invulnerable and above everyone else.

So more than likely it was done in anger, but at whom and at what? Again we'll probably never know. But I seriously doubt it was video games.

I do think however that adults should monitor what their children play and BBFC and PEGI ratings are there for a reason. Any adult who allows children younger than 18 to play Call of Duty should be held accountable and prosecuted publicly, maybe the Sun should print those stories instead!



I can also see this incident and this one to tighten or even seize guns in America. I think this could lead to civil war if they're not careful. Imagine those who dont like guns asking those with guns to hand them over. It'll be a war that won't last long.

Guns don't kill people, people kill people. But guns make it easier, faster and give a larger body count. Taking guns away won't stop senseless killing like this, but it will make it harder.

I agree Daz, but the guy in China did pretty well with just a knife too...

[DJ-Daz]

I hadn't heard about that.

People kill people.
Taking guns off the streets won't reduce crime, in fact it might increase because criminals will not hand their guns in, and when they realise it's open season on the public...

Fucking people...

It's a damn shame he didn't shoot them and stop them from corrupting the gene pool.

lmfao half them twats are vain bastards for doing the old "photo the mirror check my bod brah" avatar

Twunts.

the guy certainly seems to have had some deep issues, what that was though i dont know. i actually told me dad "you watch they will start blaming computer games"

[DJ-Daz]

Mass Effect is getting the blame for the killings, why? Because Adam Lanza liked it on his facebook page.
Just take a look at this:

I think people who jump to conclusions, believe everything they see, hear and read are almost as sick as Adam Lanza. Just look at the hate FFS. It's almost as if the sycophants where waiting for an excuse or looking for someone to blame.

Why not blame yourselves for being puerile, infantile and almost homicidal in your own behaviour.

wow just wow


you fucking idiotic mongs

[YorkshirePud]

in fact fuck this shit get me off this rock

[DJ-Daz]

+1 Pud.

Maybe people realise that directly or indirectly they are to blame for mental illness. Through bullying (just like Mass Effect Facebook page), indifference, bad parenting and even the negative news media itself. That's probably why mental illness makes people turn off when you tell them you suffer from depression? I noticed a long time ago how people shun you when you mention it. How they just think you're in a rut, how they lecture you on how you feel or how you SHOULD feel.

Maybe it's because they feel responsible, maybe not for you, but for how someone else they bullied and they make a connection, so they block it and you?

Just a hypothesis.

Or maybe they just have problems of their own?

I live in Chicago, which has some of the most strict guns laws in the US, and in turn, we have the highest gun crime in the US. Something isn't right there. As a gun owner, some of the gun laws we have a so idiotic that it makes you think if a child came up with the law. For example, there is a limit on how many shells you can have in your shotgun, which is one in the chamber, and two in the magazine. If a CRIMINAL is going to use a shotgun, WHY WOULD HE ABIDE BY THAT LAW?!

[InfiniteStates]

LOL there's a world of difference between gun laws and gun pedantry

[DJ-Daz]

If you want to piss people off, do it in style.
Publish a list of gun owners in New York. I wonder how long the editor will live after this?
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-575 ... t-holders/

Most online comments have criticized the publication of the data, and many suggest it puts the permit holders in danger because criminals have a guide to places they can steal guns. Others maintain it tells criminals who does not have a gun and may be easier to victimize, or where to find law enforcement figures against whom they might hold a grudge.

Chelsea (Chris' girlfriend AKA theDAYWALKERTRON) is doing a dissertation (photography degree) on bad media, fake photo's and their impact on the public. Talking to her last night was amazing and I really really can't wait to read it.

If she'll let me I might add to the private section.

Things like the ITV using video of Arma II to look like IRA training.
