A Connecticut community is urging people to turn in violent video games to be destroyed. The move was prompted by the December 14 mass shooting at nearby Sandy Hook Elementary School, during which 20 children and six educators were killed.
A collection drive will take place on January 12 in the town of Southington, Connecticut, a 30-minute drive from the scene of the massacre in Newtown.
Violent video games, CDs, and DVDs will be placed in a dumpster and later burned by town employees.
“As people arrive in their cars to turn in their games of violence, they will be offered a gift certificate donated by a member of the Greater Southington Chamber of Commerce as a token of appreciation for their action of responsible citizenship,” the group said in a statement.
Won’t be long now…

As horrible as the shooting was, I don’t think this is the appropriate response. Why not start with teaching your kid...

Today’s video games, movies etc. are yesterday’s books. Nothing good ever comes from a book burning. :(

Anyone who discounts the media’s effects on our culture is abysmally in denial, but so is anyone who thinks burning books/video games/anything else. HISTORY, have you read it?!
