    Blaming two fps military titles (one a fast paced arcade game that is far from realistic, the other a sprawling military sim that is fairly realistic) that have nothing to do with shooting members of the police and then going so far as to blame a game that isn't out yet and the only real info we have is a clip that's a little over one minute in length for a student snapping and shooting a police officer? That's some poor, poor journalism

    Mmm... not really "the media". I think it was only that Myona blog that made the video game association. Which is very strange since it is supposedly a pro-gaming outlet. The AP article it links to doesn't mention gaming or try to make that connection.

    It is just some guy's blog, trying to be newsy.

    My mistake, but giving the media's previous habit of blaming games I guess I jumped the gun a bit. Still, it's a ridiculous thing for anyone to claim.
