Ok, we can see this in a few ways...
1. The media and shit are always saying playing violent video games is bad, and that kids are influenced by the games. Well I for one can tell the difference between fantasy, and reality. If some kid thinks he can do things he sees in games, go right ahead. It won't get him anywhere and in some cases he could die. If he or she, is that stupid, then good riddance. Natural Selection am I right?
2. Gaming has become so big nowadays that the media cannot do shit to the Video Game community. Jack Thompson failed epically. (Then again he is an idiot.) The only thing they can do and probably have is put age restrictions on games, but there is an easy way around that, get someone old enough to buy it. Easily done. Some parents don't even care so good job laws, you fail. So really stories like these don't mean anything when the media just blames Video Games. Does anyone remember that guy that stopped a robbery or some shit, and he said something about Video Games and everyone started praising Video Games? Well, just goes to show...
