It's official that people in this country have done lost their cotton pickin' minds.

So now you expect me to believe that someone who loves to play violent video games all day and suddenly decides to shoot up a school full of kids or kill a couple of police officers, it's the fault of the video game and the video game makers?

I wonder what other outlandish theories they're going to come up with next, that Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson actually have talent?

Let's cut the B.S. for one minute and let's get down to the nitty gritty.

In this country whenever white Americans commit violent crimes there's always some lame cockamamie, bullcrap excuse about them having a bad childhood or low self-esteem or some other mindless crap.

Could it possibly be that individuals who kill people in this country simply felt like doing it, and they enjoyed it?

My dad didn't buy the G.I. Joe action figure with the Kung-Fu grip that I wanted for my 6th birthday, but I didn't hold a grudge and went ballistic years later and shot up my high school. Come on now.

But when black people commit crimes in this country that sometimes aren't even that violent outcomes the racist rhetoric from these whack job psychologists that black people are savages and preconditioned and prone to commit acts of violence.

There's no way I'm buying this bull that violent video games causes someone to suddenly loose their damn mind and start shooting up the place. If such was the case we'd have a serious murder rate in this country and so far that hasn't happened.

Thank god.

It mostly comes down to choice and bad parenting.

And a lot of today's parents are either lazy or too stupid to raise their children properly with any morals or manners. The parents should be the ones held liable for purchasing these violent video games for their children and leaving them unsupervised to play these violent video games.

People kill people, not violent video games.

And some of these incarcerated wannabe Tupac's are probably sitting in their jail cells yuckin' it up with their bunk buddies about the lives they've ruined after playing a game of Grand Theft Auto.

I say the same unmerciful attitude that these spineless cowards showed towards their victims, the justice system in America needs to do the same and give these murderers the death penalty.

It's alarming to know that a lot of the individuals committing these acts of violence are young adults and kids.

I don't know about the rest of America, but if one of these fake, wannabe gangstas took the life of a family member for no apparent reason, but for sport it's going to be hell to pay.

I strongly believe in an eye for eye.

And if these gutless cowards don't have any regards or respect for the lives of their victims they've murdered in cold blood, then why should we as a society have any respect or regards for their lives?

Putting them away for life shouldn't be the only option.

Giving them the death penalty is a better option.
