**Video Games Celebrate Slaughtering People**

1. There are games that literally give people the ability to score points for committing mass murder; where you get extra points for finishing someone off who's lying on the ground begging for their life.

2. Kentucky governor Matt Bevin went on to compare video games to pornography and questioned whether they should be protected as free speech? truepundit.com/kentucky-gover…

3. "These are quote-unquote "video games" and they're forced down our throats under the guise of "protected speech." It's garbage!
It's the same as pornography.
They have desensitized people to the value of human life,
to the dignity of women, to the dignity of human decency"

4. But The Supreme Court ruled on the issue in 2011 in
Brown v Entertainment Merchants Association
saying
"..to restrict the sale of violent video games to minors would be a violation of the 1st Amendment right to 'free speech'."

hmmm...free speech?

5. The Supreme Court found that video games are NO more damaging to children than 'other forms of media.'

(like; Penthouse? or Rappers spitting &celebrating actual killing of police officers?, or perhaps they mean the repeated use of the "N" word in nearly every music video?)

6. The effects of violent video games is an issue that gets brought up again & again after tragedies like the one in Florida.

7. There is some evidence to suggest that there is a link between playing violent video games and showing more aggressive tendencies.

8. For example, in a study publ in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, participants played either a violent or non-violent video game for 20 mins per day over 3 days.

9. After playing, they then played a competitive task in which, if they won,
they could
"blast their opponent with an unpleasant noise."

10. The researchers found that
participants who played violent games
blasted their opponents in the secondary task for much longer,
which was interpreted as
"an increase in aggressive behavior."

11. Journal of Experimental Social Psychology found:
The more you play, the more aggressive you become:

12. In 2012 Brock University-Canada looked at 1,492 children age 8-18
& found those who played violent video games over a long period of time showed increased development of aggressive behaviors.

13. Columbine Connection To Violent Video Games
"That game was basically kill everything that moves"
said the creator of a game called "Doom"
& those who played w/Eric Harris (schl shooter) say
"he created a game level based on Columbine HS's floor plan" extras.denverpost.com/news/shot0504f…

14. Included as "weapons" in that game were pipe bombs
- Which ironically were used in the real attack on students of Columbine HS, These bombs were made by, and became a key element in, Harris & Klebold's real April 20 ,1999 mass murder of their peers. edition.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2000/…

15. So what is a person to do after so such a gruesome killing of children?
They use their "Free Speech" to create an "Artful" violent video game called:
"Super Columbine Massacre RPG"
a FREE Role Playing Game (RPG) for your PC

16. This "game" delves into the morning of April 20th, 1999 & asks players to:

"Re-Live that day through the eyes of Eric Harris & Dylan Klebold"
(the 2 responsible for the first deadliest school shooting in American history.)
