He Plays Modern Warfare... Potential Mass-Murderer!

The latest news on the Norway bombings is that the suspect Anders Behring Breivik played such video games as Modern Warfare and World of Warcraft.  The media seems to have latched onto this fact as a reason for Breivik's attacks.  Breivik said on his Facebook account that he even used Modern Warfare in his 'training'.  While both video games contain violence, we urge the media to remember that pushing button 'x' on a controller to fire a gun, and actually firing a gun are two vastly different sensations.  It is highly unlikely that his attacks in Oslo were directly related to playing these video games, which millions upon millions of other people enjoy everyday. 


To suggest that these games create violence in the real world demonstrates an enormous misunderstanding of the games themselves.  Mark Turpin 'Turpster'; 'I'm one of those people who can raise his hand and say, "I play Modern Warfare,  but I've never shot a person.'
