What violent games are they participating in though?  Is it possible they had been exposed to different games that are not innocent?  Could it be possible that these guys, being as angry as they were joined anti-social anti-society discussion forums where they had been exposed to different kind of games simulating real-life type violence?  

Is it possible that in the same way the media is being used by politicians to manipulate us in thinking in a certain way, there are people with real bad intent roping these guys into their dark worlds in online discussion groups using games of violence that include role playing.  With the shooting incident in El Paso the mother of the guy said she had reported to the police that her son had recently purchased a gun.  Why did he purchase the gun?  Like what pre-empted this? He was a loner, so whatever emboldened him to walk into a shop to buy a gun and to feel perfectly right in doing that must have come from the Internet and probably games that he has been playing, teaching him to use a gun to kill real people.  Buying the gun could have been a logical extension from what he had experienced in role playing in games on the Internet.

What you are saying is perhaps true, but then again, blaming that on video games in general is a pathetic and ridiculous idea. Such "anti-social forums" already exist in other forms, specially on the dark web, one form is the gore community, they exist, and murders and stuff are common for them. I'd say spreading awareness and perhaps doing something of the community would be a better step than to simply say that video games cause violence which is obviously not true in any shape or form.
