    "The age of the average gamer is around 35. "
    that a pretty irrelevant statement, but it has the bonus of being wrong. The average age of a game purchaser is 35, not gamer.

    There are many site the cater to younger people. Guess where people looking to groom and then rape children go to?

    What people on slashdot can not seem to grok is that pedophiles and child rapist plan, and almost always repeat their behavior. This is why when ever one gets caught, there is always many children that had raped prior.

    no, that isn't worse then some one peeing in public being on the same list as people who rape children.

    People who rape children are planners. The methodically use any tool they have to groom, befriend, and get at children.

    Many crimes are one offs, and will stop once caught. Rapist, and people who perpetrate sexual violence should not be allow to communicate with children.

    If someone came to me and said we need to let 5 murdered or 5 rapist out, which should it be? I would say the murders should be released. Becasue most murders on one time events, very few are serial. Almost all rapists plan their attacks well in advance.

    People who prey upon children are planners and connivers. Sex Offenders will use any means at their disposal. So they should be shunned.

    Yes, the military issues firearm to their militia. No one ion the us is talking about removing guns from out military.

    If they want to own a gun, they must be in a security profession where it is needed, and under strict licensing guidelines.

    So, lets make it so ONLY people in them military can be issued a gun, and only people who are in a security field where one is determined to be needed, and licensing happens every few years, and is very strict.

    People who bring up the Swiss as proof the gun ownership in the US is safe are idiots.

    No, no it wasn't. His mother new something was wrong, but mental health program had been shut down. I read she took him to a psychiatrist, but that was only second hand and it didn't talk about what was said.

    "it's safe to say he made a conscious decision of some kind to engage in murder."
    no, it isn't. People like you are why we can't have a good mental health discussion.
    You use thing yu think are obvious to dismiss any mental health issues.
    You have no idea about mental health. You thing someone can't snap and still do things?

    Fuck you, and fuck everyone like you. I am sick of you people and your 1940's view of how people act. You are a fucktwad and a poor excuse for a limp wristed cum stain.

    She did the wrong thing. From Adams point of view she was pushing him away and out. She became the source of blame for what he was feeling
    Clearly, she wanted him to move on, have a meat space social life, but to people undergoing these depression and mood issues, they onloy see it as negative.

    THIS is the price of not have mental health services readily available. If I was to blame someone, it would be the jackasses that shut down the mental health facilities in that town in order to save some pennies.

    All this goes back to the perception of mental illness in the us. that people just need to be 'tough', and the people with mental health issues are 'crazy'. And that it's something that doesn't happen to people if the 'live right'.
    She should have been able to have someone come over and talk to him.
    Find good ways to get him well instead of just pushing him away.
    And yes, medication is needed.

    I don't blame the mom. I blame a society in where a mom is expected to know everything and if she asks for help she is frowned upon. I blame a society where mental health isn't treated like any other illness of injury.
    I blame every person who would rather people walk around homeless, gets get killed in schools, plagues return, and malls get shot up rather then spend a few bucks on a social health system.

    No, no, lets blame video games. That's the ticket.

    And I don't care if he broke into 900 accounts, this punishment is a waste of money, and too much.
    No one was personally at risk. nor did they have the perception that they were at risk of physical harm.
    How about he spend weekends teaching computer safety and usage for 2 years? It seems that would help society, be a fine punishment, cost less, and be enough trouble as to act as a deterrent.
    Putting him in jail will just mean he won't get a good job, want payback to society, and is more likely to commit more violent crimes after he gets out.

    Welcome to the privatization of prisons. where locking people up as long as possible for the thinnest of reason mean more profit.
