RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings.
I agree. Those who miss out on playing violent video games, end up resorting to real life violence later.
He outed himself as an ignorant fool.
Funny, Hillary Clinton said the same thing.
Been playing bloodborne all week. I still have no desire to go out with two wagon wheels assembled together with some kind of cog mechanism to toss it over my shoulder and slam it into dogs that are too aggressive for my tastes.
Do not lie to yourself hunter, it calls to you just as it calls to all of us. The need for blood the call of the hunt.
Throws spider Patches into the Walmart
Charlie Kirk would like to have a word. Go ahead Charlie, Charlie? CHARLIE NO!!!!
Jesus K Rist he is stupid.
Better loosen gun laws some more, that'll fix it.
I'm pretty sure the mass shootings are just emulation of the mass violence the ultrarich inflict on everyone on a daily basis.
I hope the shooter's name is Mario Brother
so the cheap access to assault weapons that NO ONE FUCKING NEEDS is not a factor? Also, the lack of mental health care? Yeah... right....
Microwaved Mel Gibson can fuck all the way off with that nonsense.
Peripherally related:
What did they tell him about how his father and uncle died?
Probably the truth, just like they told him the truth about vaccines.
Oh we're doing this one again? Good luck, things have changed since the last time you dusted this one off.
i blame mass shootings for video games
Oh wow, we're really hitting all the classics.
We got time travel before GTA 6
We're almost back to blaming violence on D&D. Exciting times.
They're communing with Satan, I hear!
We'll get there, just give it time.
Tipper Gore just got a tingling sensation in her naughty bits.

Christ, man. It’s either “god had a plan” or “captain price from mw2 indirectly shot the suspect, your honor”
Games of Mass Destruction
Yup, famously before that, violence didn't exist at all.
No but his dad and uncle were still alive.

There was one helluva gamer in Utah today.
I live in Utah and have a coworker that was supposed to be there for class tonight. Wild times...
How many more until he can call in a drone or an air strike?
This man is an absolute moron, him saying this is no different from the uneducated garbage he’s been spewing
this is so obviously false it's enfuriating coming from the head of HHS. Lots of coutnries all over the world have the same violent video games we do without the mass shootings.
“Switzerland has a comparable number of guns as we do, and the last mass shooting they had was 23 years ago,” said Kennedy, 71. “We have a mass shooting every 23 hours.”
“There are many things that happened in the 1990’s that could explain these,” he added. “One is the dependence on psychiatric drugs... there could be connections with video games and social media.”
okaaaaaaay... follow that train of thought just a liiiiiitle bit further bobby. Do you think Switzerland is stuck in the 80s or something?
train of thought
bobby
You got yourself in a cul-de-sac there. The worm ate the train long ago 😂
Games don't cause mass shootings.
Conservatives(policies) do.
Conservatives (reactionary fear mongering) do.
it’s guns.
His office leaked his plans to link video games to behavioral issues earlier this week, so he already had the press release ready, he just swapped some words around.
Didn't work last time, won't work this time
It actually galvanized people against the movement and made a younger generation more politically aware, including many probably seeing (voluntarily even) their first testimony to congress as they flipped over from MTV to CSPAN to watch some of their favorite rockers.
So yeah good call GOP
They are really in the shitter with ideas, they have a lot of levers right now, but they are truly staggering under their own weight. Their coalition isn't going to last forever.

Are we really restarting this conversation for the FUCKING millionth time???
I played a lot of Pac-Man and now I'm munching for pills in dark rooms while listening to repetitive music. It's true, I love techno parties. Joke, I barily ever played Pac-Man.
I also played a lot of age of empires. Now I annoy everyone with "whololoooo" all the time. Joke, no I don't.
Tap for spoiler
Whololooooo
It probably has nothing to do with widely available guns.
Here in NL we don't have that, but we do have loads of mass shootings. Oh wait, no we don't. But we don't have violent video games. Oh wait, yes we do.
Tap for spoiler
Whololooooo
