Yeah. We also wouldn't know if they all enjoyed banana splits or they had all seen Waiting to Exhale. There are any number of common threads that people could have blamed everything on, but didn't. Instead they chose music that was antiauthoritarian to criticize. Typical antidisestablishmentarian rhetoric. Blame media violence, blame music, don't blame the parents and don't blame the fact that the kids at Columbine were being pelted with rocks on their way home from school. Blame anarchy, instead of noting for example, that the Columbine kids were very interested in Hitler and neofascism. Nobody said that the cause might have been skinhead ideology. There's also no telling what set this guy off. I don't know how much Megadeth they listen to in China.
