I’d look at the reports of his being bullied as the primary motivation.

Video games don’t make you angry and homicidal towards a group.

Being Bullied on the other hand can elicit desires for revenge upon a group.

I was bullied after moving and being the "different" FNG at a public school. I also remember how much I would have liked to "get back" at people.

That was when "Sgt. Rock and His Howling Commandos" were as "desensitizing" as it got. I feel sorry for kids nowadays- there are no end of people deliberately f-ing them up for fun, profit and political power (the NRA is not among any of that lot, for those in Rio Linda).

So what stopped you or kept you from hurting people?

What worked for me with bully-types was to punch ‘em. Bullies usually don’t expect a potential victim to react like that.
As for desensitizing, I don’t think anyone, man or child, can spend all day doing nothing but massacring people in a video game and not get royally effed up in the head. More so if he’s already just a little nutty when he started.
