Why is it that whenever a kid kills other children that they blame video games and comics?

I don't get it, why blame comics or games? They have nothing to do with the fact that Johnny the Little Homicidal Maniac decided to go shoot up his school, why not just say that Little Johnny has problems? I don't wanna go on a curse ridden tirade again, but my point is why do parents just HAVE to point to video games and comics when they obviously aren't the problem. If his parents had just saw the game itself instead of trusting their kids to be the "cute little angels" they think they are, they should've seen the game or read the comic which had thousands of warning labels on just the cover. Why not just read the comic and play the game, and at least take a PEEK in the child's room, and just reveal "Hey, you've got an entire knife collection, firearms vault and a connection to the atomic bomb! Something is wrong with you!" AND WHAT'S WITH THOSE JESUS CAMPS OWNED BY PASTOR BECKY FISCHER!! THEY'RE CREEPING ME RIGHT THE HELL OUT!!! Why should kids care if the world's going wrong? Why are kids supposed to be the Legion of the Lord!! THEY'RE KIDS!!!! They're just KIDS!!! God gave us a freedom to learn and a freedom to choice!!!! The fundamentalist movement of Becky Fischer is REALLY harming the psyches of out children!!!!!!! Indoctrination is wrong. You can make a kid into a radical with an AK 47!! Kids believe anything? How do we ignore that we're making children soldiers?! Harry Potter's a fictional character!!! It shouldn't matter if he's using an ouiji board. Can you say brainwashing?! WE'RE ONLY MAKING SOLDIERS FOR THE GOP!! HOW DOES THAT FIT INTO WHAT JESUS WANTED FOR US?! God watches and has a place for those messing with our kids. What sets us apart from other countries is that we separate chuch from state! Don't let fundamentalism bleed into schools!! I believe that you're wrong insinuating they hold a bomb Paving the way for the oil brigade Paving the way for the oil brigade. EXACTLY!! Read the book and check the rating?! Don't pretend you're blind!!

1. They refuse to accept personal responsibility.
2. I'll give you the problem...its a PARENTING PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Parents have the right...no the OBLIGATION to look at the ESRB rating (that's what it's there for...) and to look through comics before either buying it or letting the kid play/read it. Parents don't get it and it's pissing me off... -EDIT- Also, I read that this HIGH ranking General in the U.S. Army is trying to make the war in the Middle East a Neo-Crusade or something...and trying to indoctrinate his soliders into the "Army of God" Also with kids...fundies are doing what Sadam did in the FIRST GULF WAR!!! Making kids soliders for their nation (or beliefs) that's why let the kids make their own damn choices when they're old enough to make them! But NOOO most Christians don't get that part of it! GOD it's annoying!
3. It's easier to pass the blame than to take responsibility. It's not my fault, says the parents. So little Johnny or Sue get caught up in the life of crime, and it's not the parents fault. Pass the blame to the schools, community, etc.
