Did he go bowling to?

Watching a conspiracy theory film about how politicians and how "the elites" control your mind over and over and over doesn't have much of a correlation between a pack of teenagers going bowling before shooting up their school.

Really how many other people have shot up the shops after watching a conspiracy theory film about how politicians and how "the elites" control your mind over and over?

The point is that media can, and has in the past, triggered complete wackos to kill people. To deny the possibility is just being obtuse:

The Beatles White Album is triggered the Manson Murders, Taxi Driver triggered Hinkley to attempt to kill Ronald Reagan.

When you're dealing with severely mentally disturbed individuals, it doesn't take much to trigger an incident.

Yes, my point exactly. It doesn't take much, even a viewing of Zeitgeist.

Brenda had the best reason tho.

Funny thing with this article is it focuses solely on the Zeitgeist movie. You read some other articles and he is tagged as a liberal, skull-worshipping occultist who liked to dress up in women’s clothing. No mention of the zeitgeist movie.

I suppose it diverts everyone away form the gun control issue

Not intentionally, but perhaps so.

Re: Tucson shooter obsessed with the movie 'Zeitgeist'

this is just more propaganda to demonize anyone the media wants to. Plus this is really good publicity for the new Zeitgeist coming out next week.. It is like when they said rap music was causing more gangs and then rap sales shot through the roof.

I wouldn't be surprised if the media didn't really hype up the new Zeitgeist since everyone knows it will be an internet sensation.


We should probably sensor things like Zeitgeist and any film anti establishment because it obviously effects the mentally disturbed.

If Washington was alive today telling the British to leave he would be labelled as mentally disturbed and a conspiracy theorist.
