Is that youth violence being carried out by or upon that specific group as a result of violent video games? What about the contribution of violent videos that are not games?

No a persons bad choice contribute to the person behaviour is like them who blame devil for their bad mistakes that’s so dumb because it’s their choice if they do bad stuff not the devil, the devil is just enjoying the show. Some already are maladjusted to begin with
then get sucked into the fantasy. Only if the player is already a psycho. Most kids play violent video games. Because humanity requires violence. Repress it and it will only come out later ten fold.
To be docile is to be not human.

When my daughter was about 8 she asked me 'what do they do with all the dead people when they have finished filming'.
I am convinced that the violence in films influences youngsters as a lot of them believe they are watching real life.
