Description:

Sturmgeist89, the 18 year-old from Finland, was obsessed with violent video games and guns. Eventually the lines of fantasy and reality blurred, resulting in the Nov. 7, 2007 Jokela High School Massacre. Here are photos and videos I took during the recent E For All Video Game convention in Los Angeles, CA. I want parents to think about what games they allow their children to play, while realizing that all video games are not bad.

Fuck no they don't..Warped kids that have no good parents create school shooter. The video game industry has nothing to do with it. Here you have a genuine problem and you're trying to tack an artificial answer to it. Before video games it was music. When are they going to stop blaming these industries for real problems

America is the PERFECT STORM for gun violence. It is NOT JUST the availability of guns; nor lax parents; nor violent video games; nor bullying; nor the incredible mix of races and cultures and religions and values; nor the material nature of our society; nor our horrible legacy and ugly example of the mistreatment of, and use of force upon, other cultures. IT IS ALL OF THAT. And when we talk solutions, all of this must be addressed.

Games have nothing to do with this.... Bad Children are the result of their parents bringing them up without sufficient discipline.

Oh how wonderful.......always the easy answers. God forbid that our "perfect" society would ever produce a serialkiller. It is time to wake up and realise that something is very wrong with the way our world is run.

Can i just ask where you got the information that the shooter was obsessed with violent videogames? I think morons like you are a big part of the problem, you just can't se the real problem it is not a videogame.......the problem is our society that pushes people to the limit, and it will keep on doing that more and more.

Violent video games does not make people go around with guns killing persons. It's just some stupid assholes that does not manage to seperate the games from the real world.
