The difference between then & now is FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER VIDEO GAMES. Read LCOL Dave Grossman's 'On Killing' and the CT Attorney General's report on the Adam Lanza shootings. Young children can be programmed, especially if they are already prone to mental disturbance, to be mass killers. It sends chills down my spine to read that Adama Lanza was engrossed in pernicious video games and that the investigation found:
- Two videos showing suicide by gunshot
- Commercial movies depicting mass shootings
- The computer game titled “School Shooting” where the player controls a character who enters a school and shoots at students
- Screen shots (172) of the online game “Combat Arms” ...
- Images of the shooter holding a handgun to his head
- Images of the shooter holding a rifle to his head
- Five-second video (dramatization) depicting children being shot
COPYCAT CRIMES are not a new phenomenon.
