View Full Version : Killer was 'obsessed' with violent video games

THE loner responsible for the sickening massacre was mentally ill, aggressive and had an unhealthy obsession for violent computer games, it emerged last night.

Cowardly Adam Lanza, 20, was driven to carry out the bloody killings after his parents split up and his friends alienated him, reports emerging from America revealed.

Chillingly, his favourite video game was said to be a shockingly violent fantasy war game called Dynasty Warriors which is thought to have given him inspiration to act on his darkest thoughts.

His easy access to a deadly arsenal – he learned how to shoot after his mother took him to local ranges – meant he was able to wreak revenge for his lonely existence.

His parents Nancy and Peter split up in 2009, and he is understood to have taken it particularly badly, but his emotional and social problems appear to have run much deeper.

He had not spoken to his 24-year-old older brother Ryan for more than two years.

High school colleagues said crazed Lanza was a member of the outcast “tech club” where boys who had trouble making friends with their peers played together.

He was vividly remembered as someone who had difficulty socialising with people.

He is said to have suffered from antisocial disorder Asperger’s syndrome and was known for being unable to empathise with others, suffering child-like violent tantrums.

Shocked neighbours told how his murdered mother would never leave him alone in a room because he was so troubled.

Federal investigators who searched the home that outcast Lanza shared with his mother yesterday found a telling video of him shooting guns with friends.

Last night it emerged that after shooting his mother in the head, Lanza stole her legally held weapons and used so-called dum-dum bullets to kill the teachers and children in Newtown.

The devastating ammunition has specially-made deep cuts in the tip which help the bullet explode inside the body, killing targets instantly. Less accurate than regular ammunition, but much more deadly, it was the choice of Norwegian madman Anders Behring Breivik during his deadly

rampage around the idyllic holiday island of Utoya last year.

Yesterday Connecticut’s chief medical examiner H Wayne Carver II said the damage to the victims was “probably the worst I’ve seen”.

Fighting back tears the seasoned medic, who has spent 30 years performing autopsies, said each of the 26 victims was shot between three and 11 times.

The bullets had pierced everywhere, he said – heads, extremities and torsos.

Yesterday, sick trolls took to the internet after a heart-wrenching but entirely fake note – said to have been written in the moments before the massacre – went viral.

The letter is signed by a little girl called Ellie and is addressed to her mother. The girl’s father is described as a cancer patient and she tells him they will meet up in heaven “for a coffee”.

Last night a relative said that Lanza’s mother was a “survivalist” who thought the world was on the verge of collapse because of the financial crisis.

The gunman’s mother was said to have started hoarding food and water and had started “prepping” or preparing for the end of the world by learning survival skills, including using a gun.

The killer’s aunt, Marsha Lanza, said: “She was stockpiling food. We talked about prepping a lot. She was getting ready for the economic collapse. I think she had the guns for self-defence because she lived alone.”

Don't be surprised if they turn up the heat on preppers, after this incident.

His uncle I think said he takes fanapt, but police said they didn't find any prescription medications at his house.

Big Pharma owns the police.

They also retrieved a hard drive that he managed to completely destroy which is no easy task. They're liars.

Dynasty Warriors? seriously... that was the "shockingly violent video game" of his choice. LOL... they don't even display blood. You just wave your weapon around and your enemy falls over or flies up in the air.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the most violent) it ranks maybe a 2.

Call me when you play.... manhunt, god of war, Mortal Combat, Dead Space, CoD... the list goes on. No one ever puts Dynasty warriors on their list of "violent video games".
