Ontopic Elementary school shooting

Why can i rate this thread 1 star more than once. I may have to create a few dupes just to finally kill it. Its the highest concentration of full-retard in this entire forum
 
Doner's originally posted manifesto said nothing relating to gun rights. It just told a bit of his history of issues with the lapd. It told of the times he tried to use official channels and faced corruption each time. He posted it in multiple places online and backups were made before the altered versions were released.

But attacking cops and risking civilians negated his complaints. The lapd however did kill innocent people and got away with it during the manhunt which showed in one aspect he was right. But Doner still handled the situation wrongly and deserved his final date.

His manifesto being altered to push someone else's agenda and easily getting away with it is pretty disturbing into itself.
 
STERLING, Va. (CBSDC) — If you enjoy packing heat while sipping a hot cup of coffee, Friday is your day.
Firearms owners and gun rights advocates are heading to local coffee shops to celebrate “Gun Owners Support Starbucks Day.” It’s their way of saying ‘thank you’ to the Seattle-based coffee franchise for — as they see it — not infringing on their Second Amendment rights.

I really could care less about the whole video game tie in other than the mechanics & strategies of how to get a high score (I don't do vid games anymore. That was a shortlived time period in hs.) what I did find chilling was the guy had such a massive spread sheet on mass murders & attempted mass murders & that it had so much detail it had the quality of a doctoral thesis.

missing the obvious point that the guys talking about the detail of his planning are the same guys talking about how it's all about video games, so anything they say has to be held as suspect and most likely prejudicial.

Video games have been demonized for years now. I love how they're portraying him as some super gamer. The things they're getting stuck on are basic strategy moves. If anything, this kid was the best planned of the bunch. Go big or go home, right?

I'm sure video games played a role in this tragedy (teaching basic combat strategy) but in the end I still blame the parent. Why would you give your kid (on antidepressants) free access to any firearm they desire?

Unfortunately, no one can write a law against mothers’ owning guns that one day might be turned against them by deranged sons who then commit horrific acts of murder-suicide. Shooting rampages are very hard to prevent because they are so often committed by disturbed young men without criminal records who don’t care if they are caught and usually want to die.

i'm not going to get into the video game debate, simply because i don't know how i feel about it. i don't think video games should be generalized and stereotyped like they are.

however, in this PARTICULAR situation, i very much believe video games had a major influence on this kid. he had mental illess(es), he spent a lot of (too much) time playing these games, and he had real guns in his home...not to mention this whole spreadsheet thing. in this case, i do believe gaming had a huge influence on his behavior.
and isn't that possible? there are people out there who become obsessed and then cannot separate reality from fantasy...so it makes sense that gaming was a major factor with this kid. is it gaming's FAULT? of course not. like with so many other things -- MODERATION. and parental involvement, concern, interest, etc. too many factors in this story to "blame" just one...but i do think gaming was a serious factor to consider.

big points of this story?
parental involvement.
moderation, interest and concern with any activity involving kids.
mental health, and the consideration of and treatment of.
warning signs & flags, and a plan of action people can turn to if they feel there are signs and flags.
