   has anyone else noticed that the recent murderers have been dressing in a certain way as to imply “role-playing” ?

   “Batman cinema shooting: killer said he was ‘The Joker’ (telegraph, UK)
   Classmate said Holmes was obsessed with role-playing video games;(daily mail, UK)

   “Adam Lanza, …. spent hours in the windowless basement of his home playing violent video games like “Call of Duty” and obsessing over “guns and military equipment.” –Breitbart

   Not trying to ‘blame’ video games – but dealing with my own teenager who has trouble separating “reality” and the online un-reality, I think there is something to this.

   Violent entertainment definitely has an impact on individuals who are not well-adjusted, socially. This impact is exacerbated in individuals who spend excessive amounts of time engaging in these activities.

   Everything in life must be done in moderation. Too much of ANY one thing is not good. Anti-social behavior is nurtured by individuals sequestering themselves and being inundated with alternate realities. I don’t have any doubt about this.

   That said, it doesn’t apply to most well-adjusted, socially developed individuals.
