Wiki has a list of school shooting (and other school related massacres) events that go back a few centuries.
I think there’s something in that list about some guy making a homemade flamethrower or something. I checked it out about a year ago, so I don’t quite recall.
@shooters
Also, I highly doubt that video games are responsible for such massacres. You know how many people played Doom, Call of duty or Wolfenstein and whatnot? If video games caused violence, so many people downtown would be dead by now, and I sure would have killed a buncha people already. although I don’t like shooters unless it’s Duke Nukem, maybe I’ll just go in a bar and stick my dick in a hole, assuming it’s a glory hole
Maybe games can adhere to an already sick mind, but if that person hadn’t been a fan of games, something else would have been the trigger, like people in the sixties who committed suicide when their D&D character died. Too many people play games to blame games for such things. And anyways, death and chaos were always around, video games however, have existed since like, the seventies or so. People have always massacred one another, man has always drank the blood of his fellow man.
I don’t think school shootings, whatever sources that drive them, shitty ass parenting, lousy environment are a sign that our society is getting sicker. It’s always been fucking sick, it’s just that we upgrade equipment, and dish out skull fuckery in different ways. But that skull fuckery is as ancient as man.
In fact I’d much rather live where I am now, than back in revolutionary France when anyone was a target for the guillotine.
I know this question ain’t about if games cause violence, but I’m sick of that belief, when you consider the amount of gamers and casual gamers out there. If that had any bit of truth, gaming wouldn’t be an industry. To me that’s just as ludicrous as saying that if you clap your hands when seeing aura borealis, it will come in your mouth and eat your soul. It sucks that some events come to define the entirety of something for some people.
