The Conversation Glenn Beck Is Begging Americans To Have In The Wake Of The Santa Barbara Killing Spree
Glenn Beck on Monday begged Americans to have a “real conversation” about the ramifications of video games on our nation’s children, saying “we don’t have any idea the damage that’s being done, because this is the first generation” where many have grown up more comfortable in “virtual reality” than actual reality.
The plea came after 22-year-old Elliot Rodger, the son of an assistant director on “The Hunger Games,” murdered six people and wounded several more on Saturday, authorities said. Rodger seemingly wrote a lengthy manifesto and created a number of disturbing YouTube videos before the attack, describing how he filled a void in his life with video games, only to find that he would “never have a satisfying social life ever again.”
“This loss of a social life coupled with the advent of puberty caused me to die a little inside,” the manifesto read. “It was too much for me to handle, and I stopped caring about my life and my future. I even stopped caring what people thought of me. I hid myself away in the online World of Warcraft, a place where I felt comfortable and secure.”
Beck said that Hollywood is trying to have it both ways by saying “you can’t have anybody smoking on television or in movies because it affects people,” but that continued exposure to horrific violence onscreen is “totally fine.”
“Please listen to me,” Beck begged his audience. “You’ve got to get the video games out of your child’s hands. Please. I’m having a hard enough time trying to do it in my own home. … Enough. No more. Because they cannot handle it. This is not the same as Pac-Man. It is not the same. These are virtual worlds where they live. They live in these worlds; talk to them.”
