NO ONE ever saw him play video games. Video games are not the problem. Its mental and psychological issues, parenting issues, ect. If we lived out our video games, I would be a young warrior hopelessly set out on the task to save the world from yet another great evil. I would probably carry a sword, some potions, phoenix downs, and could use magic. Actually, sign me up! Josh, I was thinking the exact same thing. NO ONE ever saw him play video games.

Millions of people play Counter-Strike, and the vast majority of them are not killers. There are reports that Cho's photos appear to be in emulation of a violent movie, "Oldboy." But movies and video games don't turn people into killers. You have to <i>already</i> be mentally disturbed to do what he did.
