An upcoming computer video game that would allow players to re-create school shootings by stalking school hallways and racking up kills has been condemned as insensitive and inappropriate by the parents of students who were shot to death during the school massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High.

The game — titled "Active Shooter" and slated for a June 6 release via the digital video-game marketplace Steam — is branded as a "SWAT simulator" that lets players choose between being an active shooter terrorizing a school or the SWAT team responding to the shooting.
[...]
A description of the game, which will not be sold on a console system, comes with the following disclaimer: "Please do not take any of this seriously. This is only meant to be the simulation and nothing else. If you feel like hurting someone or people around you, please seek help from local psychiatrists or dial 911 (or applicable). Thank you."

Really? They think the people who want to shoot up schools will seek help rather than hone their skills with this disgusting game? I can’t even.

Hopefully Steam will be heavily boycotted.

More importantly, that parents will monitor their children's video game intake. Better yet, maybe children should be spending video-game playing time reading instead.

That is what my children would be doing if I had them.

 

[human]

Parents who do not monitor their guns are probably not going to monitor video games

Parents who do not monitor their guns are probably not going to monitor video games

... or what their children read, for that matter. Good point, @human

I saw the video. It is very reminiscent of Elliot Rodger or Seung-Hui Cho. They all talk about they got screwed over all the time.

The way Cruz talks is very condescending mixed with rage. He has a cold laugh.

Injustice collectors, seek revenge and infamy. My fear these videos will inspire the next shooter.

Attorney provides legal opinion on cellphone videos of Nikolas Cruz

"PARKLAND, Fla. (CBS12) — A confessed killer — in his own words.

Since the release of the Nikolas Cruz tapes, CBS12 News has produced several stories about the content, the possible psychological insight, and now the legal ramifications.

The Cruz defense team has already said multiple times they are willing to plead guilty, but want the state to take the death penalty off the table.

CBS12 spoke to an attorney not on the case to get his take.

Jacob Cohen predicts that if jurors see the tapes, they’ll have no doubt Cruz knew right from wrong.

“So what does insanity mean in Florida? It means he didn’t know right from wrong or even though he knew right from wrong, he couldn’t comport his behavior with that sense of right and wrong, and I think that he’s made the defense very challenging now,” he said...."

Nikolas Cruz is an injustice collector as clearly shown in the video. He sees himself as a victim.

Dang, that video.......

Dang, that video.......

I'm glad we could see the video it removes all doubt what he planned, and intended to do that day and he was motivated by revenge and to seek infamy and attention and to inspire others. Now, it's out there for the next shooter to dwell on.

 

[human]

I did feel sorry for him. Bad hand dealt to him.

That’s over now. What a monster.

It's a weird feeling... I was angry when I watched those videos, but then, later in the day I was reflecting on them, and I felt extreme sadness. How does someone get to this point? I know, I shouldn't feel any sadness for a mass murderer and I don't know why I do. It's strange to me. I don't want him released to society.

It started when his birth mother got pregnant and continued to use drugs it affects brain development. If we are to believe that this story is indeed true. Was his birth parents ever found?
How do we prevent the next mass shooter? Keep a vigilant look for red flags and provide effective mental health help for them.

And let's not forget what alcohol in any form, does to brain development in utero. The baby can be born with brain damage
that they can never overcome. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is becoming more and more common in our society. More and more
children are being born brain damaged. And the older they get,
the more problems the child will have and the more problems
the family will have dealing with them. We have many potential
school shooters waiting in the wings to do just like Nick Cruz.
This young man was doomed from birth but we must protect society and other innocent people from perps like him.

yes, and alcohol.
How do we stop addicts from using while pregnant legally though?

I thought of you HMS when I saw the most recent video. I agree
with you, but I also believe he was a victim of his brain deficits
he was born with. That boy was never right in the head and if his
parents had lived, he would have been a lifelong problem to deal with and probably would have been incarcerated eventually.
I believe he was incorrigible due to brain defects.

I agree. Can they test him for this?
