Yet another school shooting!

This is ridiculous. What role do you feel the media coverage plays in this? In todays age we want news and want it now, but IMO they need to change the way they cover these. Of course there are other more influential factors (parents), but this is getting absurd.

I think if the news did not make it the "entire" story of their broadcast and social media was never invented, there would be less of this crap happening. 1 sicko sees something on the news and then they think they can do it bigger and get more attention. Its sad to see but, to stop a bad person with a gun, you need a good person with a gun!!

There’s definitely a cultural problem. Young kids have been desensitized to death.

Threads like this don't help. There have always been shootings. There has always been stabbings at schools. We just round them all up from not our own city or State or Country but the entire planet earth so it feels a lot worse.

And IMO this one could be a different kind...doesn't appear to be someone trying to kill random masses.

I did like this comment though.

"FACT
When they try to remove unstable kids from schools liberal policies keep them there."

Yes and no fear of consequences

Yeah sure, I’m part of the problem.
This is a forum of hunters, not mass media or an enormous, worldwide social media platform.

That's not an excuse. I played those same games growing up as a kid. I blame the parents 100%.

No offense..I meant posts titled "another school shooting" in general. It spreads fear when we should not fear.

I don't think video game violence is really the problem. The problem is kids just sit alone in their rooms for hours PLAYING video games instead of playing outside and learning social skills. They isolate themselves but can't understand why they feel so lonely and isolated with no actual friends. Then they don't fit in so they become angry about THAT. Snowballs into revenge against the very thing they created themselves. But I'm just an old Air Force vet hanging out on the green screen so what do i know lol

Agreed, these "shoot em up games" were around and what we played as kids (32 now) and there weren't (didn't here about) the number of school shootings we do today. Go look at how many of these kids are on mind altering drugs, only other constant is that they are holding guns and white males (the most discriminated against/hated demographic in today's society).

Ditto on 32

Agreed. We had weekends of COD tournaments and turned out normal.

I would agree with this. They have little social skills as many have screens in their face nearly all the time.
