So the big question of the above video is, ‘Do we blame the video game?’

My first answer is that I would find it hard to go back to the creators of the video game and tell them that they will be held liable for ‘poisoning the minds of our youth.’ Mainly because we as a society have allowed the graphic violence and total disregard for authority and other individuals that these games exploit to seep into our homes and lives.
