Politicians and the media have blamed the Connecticut shooting on computer games; is anyone surprised?

Q. http://www.politico.com/story/2012/12/hill-eyes-video-game-use-by-shooter-85255.html?hp=l8

Well, that didn't take long.

What is it that makes computer games a culturally acceptable scapegoat for incidents of violence? As a gamer, I've never felt a computer game give me an urge to go out and murder some innocent children. In a game, I can shoot my friend's avatar (or he can shoot mine) and we can both laugh about it afterwards; in the sense that it's an in-game action, I regard it more akin to moving a piece on a chessboard, or hitting a ping-pong ball, than to murdering someone in real life.

How do other gamers feel about this? Do you think it does a disservice to the victims to throw the blame around carelessly? What steps can (or should) we take to distigmatize our hobby in the eyes of society, and to make sure the real issues are not clouded?

A. Funny how it's always blamed on something that the blamers aren't big on doing.
