Mentally unstable person goes on a rampage.

	People die.

	Thousands get angry at the wrong shit.

	Rinse, repeat, and [b]wonder[/b] why pointing fingers doesn't solve anybody's problem in a world quite literally flooded with chaos and hatred.

	I hardly think the shooting is relevant to gaming, to be perfectly honest. The context of the tragedy does not take away from the fact that major deciding factors likely had nothing to do with video games, or losing. I chalk it up as one of the countless unavoidable tragedies that plague the world. It's like that Elliot Roger garbage, where everyone was too hung up on his twisted rationale to just admit to themselves that he was a fucking psychopath, [i]as if his inability to get a girlfriend was more important than the fact that this asshole wrote about skinning people alive.[/i]

	But hey, people like getting angry in unison at stuff. Gotta fit in or you're an unfeeling prick. [i]Isn't it great?[/i]

	I never feel anything when I hear about this nasty shit anymore aside from mild disappointment. It wouldn't change anything if I did anyways. It might sound heartless, but unless somebody I knew personally were to fall victim to something like this, I don't have the physical capacity to care.

	Don't take anything away from this, other than the fact that people can be absolutely fucking monstrous under unfortunate circumstances. This has nothing to do with games, this has nothing to do with gaming culture, and this has nothing to do with competition. This was just one of many isolated incidents centered around the lack of mental wellness in an immature, and likely forsaken, human being. A human being that was not gifted with the psyche to cope with the disgusting nature of the world around them without going on a psychotic rampage.

	What makes me angry, is when people use these tragedies to validate their arbitrary notions on society and culture. 

	[i]We live in a society[/i]

	I don't mean to start a ruckus, but there's little conversation to be had here that wouldn't drift entirely away from the thread's core topic.
