Shocking confession

[CapnAwesome]

I think there is a huge difference between seeing people brutally murdered in front of you and killing a load of people for brownie points on a computer war game. Public executions certainly didn't desensitize people to think it was okay, gradually killing more and more people on a computer game or seeing it in movies, there is certainly more of an argument to say that is desensitizing as opposed to public executions of people.

People weren't being forced to attend public executions, they were going gleefully because they wanted to. Is it a huge surprise that the resulting society was one in which lynching was largely accepted? A generation before that people went out on picnics to watch battles.

As for violent video games if all those kids saw a real murder , they would clearly understand the difference between that and the video game. It's a fucked up mind that doesn't understand the difference. I don't place even an iota of blame on Rob Zombie for this poor kid. In an earlier generation he probably would of been even more fucked up.
