You can't blame video games for something this, at the ages of 16 & 17 you are old enough to be morally responsible for your own actions. My son is 4, but he knows that hurting people is wrong.

At the age of 4, "hurt" is still an abstraction to a child.  He may know that hurting is wrong and unpleasant, but if he doesn't know he's hurting someone then he will still make the mistake.

I agree with your point but your example needs work.
