I'm going with bored religious housewives here. Honestly, if you want to complain then for the love of fuck at least learn a bit about what you're complaining.

But hey, I guess there's a HUGE similarity between shooting someone and using a sword to hack through hordes of monsters.

If I didn't know any better I would think this is a troll article. To bad I know better. This is why humanity is fucked.

Out of morbid curiosity, why is always D&D? You never here about Shadowrun, BESM, GURPS, White Wolf (table top AND LARP [live action role playing]), or any of the other hundreds of RPG/LARPS out there?

Maybe D&D is part and parcel of the effect of one's psychosis, not the cause however.

D&D is a ROLE PLAYING GAME ... and as such whilst 99.9% of it's players are healthy, or stable is perhaps a better term, people (well, psychologically at the very least). The problem lies in that D&D is a high fantasy adventure that requires a concerted effort on a part of the DM and the players to recreate a mythical surrounding that has characters who are inundated by the pervasive magical nature of the surrounds that their 'campaign' takes places.

SO D&D wouldn't create the psychopaths, but naturally speaking it might hold a great appeal to people with fantasy prone disorders, or dissociative neuroses.

What people forget is that most nutcases are BORN nutcases ... people who say D&D/video games kill are largely idiots.

Yes I believe a psychologically unsound environment can produce killers ... but to say video games/games in general kill is like saying "Newton created Gravity" ... no the forces of gravity were always there ... and it takes a human to try (in this case horribly) to put the pieces together.

Not only this, but why is people blaming games when this article already shows she was out of her MIND ... she killed her brother. WHAT THE HELL? Yes ... D&D .... Or maybe Her + Weapon = Rampage.

Though I am generally interested by this article ... it's not usual for women to be not only serial killers, but also spree killers.

uumm D&D has nothing to do with shooting guns at all. and out of the thousands and thousands of people who have played D&D in some way only a hand few have ended up killing someone. It's kind of dumb to consider that D&D had anything to do with those kids getting shot.

It's an intriguing thing to note but she probably also liked hamburgers as do many killers I assume...

Well, oh shit on a polished plate. Someone is going to throw a tantrum about this.
Also, why is the media completely annoying the man's crippling oxygen addiction? That stuff makes people go completely crazy when they can't get their next fix, hell, just about everyone who goes into withdrawal ends up dead. But the oxygen lobby ensures that nobody ever mentions it.

Also, I bet he occasionally listened to the radio, or read something!. Will the madness never end?

Sources also showed that she would wear a bra and women's panties underneath her clothes, turned on her car with an ignition key, refrained from crossing the street when the light was red, and breathed air.

Andy Chalk said:
The article notes that Dungeons & Dragons has a "long history of controversy," with many people objecting to its "demonic and violent elements." While there are those who claim it's just a game, some experts have pointed out that an interest in the game has been noted among some people who have gone on to commit violent crimes; a federal appeals court also recently upheld a ban on the game in prisons in Wisconsin [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97794-Dungeons-Dragons-Banned-in-Prison] after officials testified that they were worried the game could cause "hostility, violence and escape behavior."
Does anyone have twenty bucks to spare? Because once I finish replying, I will have no choice but to grab my keyboard and smack myself in the face with it.

Side note: My condolences to all the victims and their families.

Man, what is the American press doing? They've moved from being shit to being unofficial propoganda machines. I don't even know how people can watch/read this shit. I mean, the news companies don't even conceal the blatent bias and just general lies their "news" contains.

But as a Canadian, I lol at how this story (along with basically every other shool shooting story) has been spun into some anti-gaming/music/activity-that-young-people-do headline.

The amazing thing here is that there's an actual girl who played D&D!

Seriously, I thought the whole theory that D7D promoted violence and satanism went away years ago. Isn't that what violent video games are for? (according to the media)

Wait, how was she still out if she killed her brother? Yayyy justice system, try to put a guy in jail for 15 years because he looked at lines on a paper, but let a crazy ***** go free, and when she finally does something stupid you blame it on lines...on a paper.

I saw this article yesterday and thought it was ridiculous, I personally believe that warhammer 40k is much more dangerous and that as a gateway drug Candyland is much more effictive.

Sadly I have to agree to what this guy is *implying*. Not everyone is a super anti-socialite, but there are some kids on my campus who probably play as many games as I do, but just freak me out and have that "look" you know?
