Mass Effect involved in the shooting of Sandy Hook?

By Emag Aya on 05:59


Information drama made headlines of every newspaper in America. Yesterday, Ryan Lanza, 24, would have gone to primary school in Sandy Hook Connectitut he shot twenty children and some faculty members. As often, after a tragic shooting, some are quick to blame video games - mostly those who know the least - and follows endless debates on the relationship between violence and gaming . In this case, it appears that the murderer, who was put to death after committing his crime, had enjoyed the Facebook page of Mass Effect, BioWare franchise. For some, it was enough to inflame the minds and find a scapegoat.

Some comments listed below, speak for themselves and demonstrate once again that instead of addressing the root causes of the problem of violence in the United States, we are dealing with a chimera emotionally to serve as whipping time to appease the anger of citizens. Better forget all the facts, and especially not to seek the true causes. Besides, who remembers James Holmes? But if the American student who killed a dozen people in a theater in Denver last July after disguised as Joker? Again, the game was fittingly played the role of designated culprit.

But then, in this case, the net virality played against the hostility of these fellows. In fact, the only reason newspapers have mentioned the name of Ryan because the murderer of her identity papers with that name. This is after the mob is unleashed on social networks to uncover the unsavory.

However, it turns out that this is not Ryan, but his brother Adam, 20, who is the perpetrator. Therefore, "like" the page Mass Effect has become a non-event. What excuse do we find the brother? The death of innocents - children, what is more - is a matter serious enough in itself, but that it will take longer pretend to solve the problem by inventing causes that do not exist. In this regard, the Michael Moore's documentary, Bowling for Columbine (conducted after the Columbine High School shootings in 1999), is very enlightening.
