Unfortunately, it may go much further than that. At 20, the attacker would have been part of the generation of boys that had the living ____ medicated out of them for basically, behaving like boys.
As a society, our range of acceptable behavior in public settings, such as school, has narrowed considerably. Fall outside the increasingly idealized behavior and you are stigmatized, labeled, segregated and likely forced into being medicated with mind altering drugs unless your parents fight like hell or lie.

I think it’s imperative that we look more closely at the evidence showing how violent video games and movies affect developing minds, and how technology is affecting people’s ability to empathize.

We got so close to actually getting to the real issue which is mental health problems and treatments. Then we had to blame violent video games. Blame the guns, blame the video games, blame the bullying, blame something other than the real issue which is we diagnosis our kids with mental issues and then medicate the hell out of them.
It’s time for people to be parents. It’s time for people to start accepting responsibility for their actions. It’s time to start teaching our kids that winning and losing aren’t the same thing. We think if a kid has a mental issue we can just pop a pill and it will all be alright. It takes more work than that unfortunately. Address the mental health issues and treatment programs. That’s where the real solution lies. Eliminate the guns and next mass murder is a 5 gallon can of gas or a car.[/quote]
