[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 2137105, member: 7883"] This is what I'm getting at. Heck, in my own city, just 2-3 weeks ago, some guy stabbed his mother, father, and sister to death. Obviously, something snapped in his head. But does it mean there's a connection with D&D? Who knows? Who knows if he even knows what the game is? But given the crime just happened, the police here aren't making any statements about possible causes. Nobody knows yet. It's going to take weeks for him to be able to work with a court appointed psychologist, while in the meantime the police continue their investigations. That's a big reason why the originally quoted article seems so spurious. Now, if he started shouting that he killed them because of D&D, or he had some form of shrine of D&D books set up in his bedroom, with little pictures of people getting killed or something, and the police found this during the arrest? Well, maybe. Who knows? But I suspect that the investigation isn't nearly that far along, and that insufficient evidence is available to make any kind of statement as to cause. Banshee [/QUOTE]
