These violent Video games that kids grow up with nowadays can cause depersonalization with killing or hurting of others also. Constantly playing these games hardens ones perception of actually doing harm to others resulting from ones actions. It doesn't have to effect all the people but if it effects even five percent it has the ability to create a mess. Distorting even five percent of the population can cause an effect towards up to thirty percent of our society being affected. This needs to stop.

I was just listening to the Yahoo! News live conference and I heard reporters asking if civilians had been shot by police, whomever was giving the conference (I came in at the last part of it so I don't know who it was) did the ole sidestep, "We cannot confirm nor deny" type of thing. So there are reports that innocents/the injured have been shot.

Not too mention that supposedly police shot more than the actual gunman, this doesn't look good for the idea of keeping guns in the hands of only law enforcement and if it were rehearsed then why did the officers perform so poorly?

Movies don't give you involvement into the actions and outcome. These warlike video games teach the young to have involvement and can distort kids perceptions. Fantasy becomes more real. Everything we hear and see and feel develops who we are whether we realize it or not. Depersonalization disorders can develop from many things, it is not limited to video games. If fantasy starts becoming reality in a persons life than they should really be a member of ATS. It'll keep things interesting here
