I've seen the old media coverage on it. Just as fucking stupid as today.

And when that did come up, it was blamed on video games and music (and they skipped the racism/neo Nazism still).

I remember my late stepmother wanting to not allow me to play computer games ever again, because she was afraid I'd be so addicted to video games, I'll want to "play them in real life, with real guns", meanwhile guns are hard to come by in my country without having a hunter's license
