It's amazing how irresponsible people have become.
What I want to know is why the parents of the shooter Michael Carneal did not do anything to control their child's access to materials containing pornography and violence. For the parnets of the victims to blame the entertainment industry, and especially the computer game industry for a child's actions is absurd.
Where were Michael's parents when he was viewing pornography? Where were his parents when he got his hands on violent movies? How could they allow a fourteen year old kid get his hands on a firearm? Where were his parents explaining the difference between fantasy and reality?
The industry isn't at fault here. It's time the parents take responsibility for raising their kid.
My condolences go to the families of those who lost their children in this senseless violence, but we cannot hold the producers of entertainment media responsible for creating products that people buy.
Common sense dictates that everyone has the ability to say "yes" or "no" to something. Apparently some of us have forgotten that.
