How many instances do you read about other MK fans severely beating up or killing another person? Very few, if any others at all.

Don't they display disclaimers now before the show or in the games? I can't believe they're blaming it on video games. Honestly, is he that stupid and easily influenced? It's like the parents who blamed Myspace and Youtube for influencing their kids to beat up some teenager to get famous. Idiots! Someone needs to teach their kids better.

For me, it's really the parents who aren't controlling what their kids watch or what they do after they watch.
