Someone has created a video game that simulates the Sandy Hook shooting. People are outraged.
1. How different is this game from the “first person shooter” games that have been on the market for years? See images below.
“Bioshock” was a groundbreaking game and a hit with critics. But some were troubled by the “Little Sisters,” mutated versions of young girls that a player may choose to fight and kill.
2. The government itself is psychologically conditioning its troops and mercenaries to be okay with shooting “nontraditional targets.”
Hugely popular “Modern Warfare 2″ turned heads with an optional mission in which players may choose to shoot civilians.
2. The inventor of the game says he created it because he wants something done about gun laws in the United States. While the deaths of 26 children in a wealthy suburb in Connecticut is a tragedy, the United States government is responsible for the killing of far, far more children overseas than any “shooter” here at home. But I don’t think we’ll hear any rallying cries to disarm the government anytime soon.
A study compiled from The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in 2012 named all of the children who had been killed just by U.S. drones:
