Blaming games and tv and music is the ultimate in blaming others for something that ultimately is the responsibility of the person usually doing the complaining.

I will soon be a father and if my daughter would kill someone I wouldn't try and find which game she played caused the event to happen. Unless she is mentally ill, I would feel responsible for the most part.
I'm not putting the blame solely on video games and entertainment, but I believe they play a part in the conditioning of young people's minds.

I don't think people just wake up one morning and they are "mentally ill homicidal maniacs" all of the sudden, it is a process over time influenced by many outside variables.
