I just don't know, my dear sweet Lord the world has either gone obviously crazy? or the Devil knows that his time is truly short?

we just recently had something quite similar to that happened here in Flint MI. a devoted husband and loving father just up and murdered his wife and kids. than like following some twisted movie script, he turned the murder weapon on himself. apparently he was drowning financially before taking these drastic measures, to escape all his debt

naturally, it's easy to just blame violent acts like these on video games, movies, and even the music that one listens too. however, i would be more concerned with the spiritual aspects of the person who commits these atrocities. what sinister force is in control of these people? for heaven's sake this same murder suicide scenario is carried out every few days across our blessed country. and i don't think it's going to just simply go away anytime soon...

To be honest, I think the original articles were fairly done. They weren't "blaming" anything but rather describing Eric. The could have easily described a guy who like shoving his nose in books 24/7, playing basketball all the time, or reading an unmodified religious text for hours on end.

I did see certain agenda seeking twits on other sites who wanted to influence the investigation to support their personal, religious, and/or political beliefs. But these individuals are nothing more than delusional, Tin-Pot-Dictator-Wannabes who would even claim that a kid playing a violent video game is worse than the same kid having been verbally, mentally, physically, and nearly sexually abused by their "Parent".

I think the police should, and most likely ARE, doing a THOROUGH job of investigating this act. NO stone left unturned and NO scapegoating just because you're too lazy to do your job or just want to use the tragedies of others to force your personal, religious, and/or political beliefs on others.

At times, there is simply no logical, from our point of view, reason for someone to take their own life, let alone take the lives of others in additiona to their own.

I urge the authorities to continue to investigate thoroughly, properly, honorably, and ethically and let NO ONE, not me nor ANY other individual, organization, or government agency, interfer with your investigation OR tamper with evidence or witnesses just to push agendas.

I did find it rather interesting that many news reports, including the Origonian, would mention "Grand Theft Auto" by name. Many eating too many tweenkies made him do it.

That defense worked for Daniel James White.

I noticed that too DamosA, the MSM just can't let a chance go by to blame a violent act on either Grand Theft Auto or Pitbulls.

Please wait...
