A sophomore at Lake Park High School in DuPage County in Illinois has been banned from playing violent video games after he jokingly said he was going to shoot up a school online. According to the charges he posted a picture of him playing a violent video game and him saying he was going to do a school shooting if people didn't stop talking about school shootings. His public defender said it was a joke in poor taste, but the prosecutor wasn't laughing. Personally, I believe he was trolling because of the so-called link to violent video games and mass shootings, but he probably should have thought twice before he posted what he did. Thanks cageymaru.
A police search of the boy’s Roselle home turned up no weapons, and his parents said in court that they did not keep any weapons in the home. Judge Robert Anderson released the boy, who spent the night in a juvenile facility, into the custody of his parents and ordered him placed on indefinite home detention.
