DR. PHIL: Well, Larry, every situation is different… The question really is can we spot them. And the problem is we are programming these people as a society. You cannot tell me - common sense tells you that if these kids are playing video games, where they’re on a mass killing spree in a video game, it’s glamorized on the big screen, it’s become part of the fiber of our society. You take that and mix it with a psychopath, a sociopath or someone suffering from mental illness and add in a dose of rage, the suggestibility is too high.
And we’re going to have to start dealing with that. We’re going to have to start addressing those issues and recognizing that the mass murders of tomorrow are the children of today that are being programmed with this massive violence overdose.
I think I speak for the MILLIONS of video game players around the world who don't go on a killing spree when I say, fuck you Phil fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Common sense and some sense of science tells you that maybe kids who are violent are attracted to violent video games, not the other way around. Common sense tells you that we don't have these sorts of killings going on every day all day all over the place, but that these violent video games are played every day by millions of kids, so maybe the games aren't to blame. Common sense tells you that there have been mass killings in this country stretching back a very long time before people had violent video games.
Common sense tells you that Dr Phil doesn't have much of it.
I think the fact that the guy was a sociopath was cause enough.
Plus, he never played video games. Not real enough, I guess.
