I'm surprised no one has ever pinned the blame on water guns... They're more readily accessible (and even targeted) at younger ages and actually more realistically model the process of loading, aiming and shooting a gun. You can't practice your aim in a video game or even reload in a half realistic way (besides flicking your wrist on the Wii in some games - but usually the games are blamed like Halo, Counter-Strike, CoD) . If people are going to blame video games I say we as gamers should pin the blame on water guns! Let's make a stand! Who's with me?!

... Okay... I guess I'll go back to sitting quietly in threads like this... :P

 

Edit: Also, I realize this was a stabbing incident but you kind of get my point. Everyone instantly jumping to the video game conclusion is ridiculous. The individual committing the act of violence is psychologically predisposed to having problems controlling their emotions in the first place. I might actually think as video games as being an outlet possibly keeping them from bursting out or at least delaying their inevitable act of foolishness.
