It's like they can't blame themselves

People have got to start taking some responsibility,
you can't blame obscure media, you need to blame the whole environment.
That or the person was just plain wacked,
or there was no reason nor rhyme.
This is possible...and more so than any Movie's influence.

rogue has this one dead on. People don't want to take any responsibility for their actions. It's too easy to blame someone else. The "it's not my fault, it's the media" defense is bullshit. If the movie was that bad, everyone who saw it would go out and kill others. This was a fucked up person who just found something to blame. If it wasn't the Matrix that inspired him, it would have been something else. Irrational people are just that, "irrational." Changing movies, video games, and music will never change that.
