Minecraft Blamed in School Violence Case

Yeah but that article and the case itself doesn't say anything about Minecraft being linked to violence. All it says is that this child took these items that he uses to pretend he's playing minecraft to school. It just so happens that said items can be considered weapons. That's all it's saying. I think I wouldn't be wrong to say that every one of us has taken items and pretended they were something else as part of a game at some point in our lives.
