I'm wondering something. Everytime some news story(s) claim that the school shooters said something involving gaming, aka "doom will become reality", "life is a video game, you gotta die sometime", no one ever has links to the website in question, they all mention the person in question, (Eric Harris, Devin Thompson, the Montreal shooter), said it, but they never provide actual proof, making me think that they are hoaxes perpetrated by someone who doesn't like games, maybe.

I'm asking this because I went to a site that mirrored Harris's AOL website (see link at bottom of post) and they claimed that the actual page that said "doom will become reality", is indeed a hoax, added later after the massacre, to one of the many sites online claiming to be Harris's site, after April 20'th.

And I would like to add to this that for those who are caught alive, they would say anything to transfer their guilt onto anything or anyone else.

It's an old game. Many serial killers have blamed pornography.

It's an age old tactic problably as old as movies, television, comic books and video games combined. If something bad happens, make up stuff to add in that will make it look like something you want gone was to blame. I don't see this trend ending anytime soon, or ever

Life is likea video game you gotta die sometime

The Montreal Massacre one wasn't a hoax, he had it on his MySpace page prior to the shooting. Whether Devin Thompson really said it is debatable, but Kim Veer certainly borrowed it.

Of course, the thing is, historically, the number of killers quoting the Bible is far, far higher. But obviously the Bible didn't CAUSE these killings.

And neither did the games.

I wish society would just focus on the idea that it was disturbed individuals with suspect parenting that pulled the trigger, not some outside source.
