I am going to hell for this

How is this offensive? I'm not joking here, I'm just legitimately wondering why.

No, I mean it's just a bunch of searches of random shit that could possibly relate to Columbine.

I'm a kind of the early 2000's generation. To me Columbine was a hillarious comedy orchestrated by two retarded emo kids. Thank God for the desensitization provided by the modern world and the internet.

I think the point of the searches was to make it look like that he was planning on doing a second Columbine incident.

Really?

Not angry or anything... just extremely curious.

The whole reasoning behind it and media frenzy that followed I find ridiculous and played out. For the longest time all people compared everything and anything kids did to becoming "The next potential Columbine" it's just old hack and funny how much weight people put into that one incident.

Was the incident itself a tragedy that hallmarks both my and the 90's generation? Yes. Should we constantly compare and contrast it to everything? No.

Yes, we shouldn't forget what happened, but people need to move on already. It's been almost twelve years people! The more kids hear about something and are told to follow everyone's opinion and never get angry or express heir natural tendency for violence in a safe and controlled manner then the more chances we have of seeing this happen again.

People got too wound up over it, adults were all suddenly scared their kids were sociopaths and we all as gamers got screwed over with even more censorship and cuts to games that should have been released without them. Just take a look at the Dreamcast and Sega's of America's refusal to allow their own official lightgun to operate on an American unit! Or, how games of the era and following few years ended up with an unreasonably high amount of content cut from them before release to avoid the so called "Columbine Effect" in the media.

Yeah, I even have a House of the Dead 2 zombie figure with green blood! What the hell is up with that, I just painted red paint over the green. Take that censorship! I just hated how the media blamed it on video games and music.

So that is why there is no official DC light gun around! Somehow never heard that story. Good points, I concur on the utter ridiculousness of scape-goating video games on issues like this. From a scientific standpoint, it is not logical. Everyone knows correlation does not imply causation.

That censorship reminds me of how after 9/11 there were games with levels/cutscenes with the Twin Towers taken out. (ie. Spider-Man: Enter Electro) Total bullshit.
