Connecticut town drive will collect and destroy violent video games
A town in Connecticut is holding a drive to collect and destroy violent games, music, and movies in the wake of the school shooting in Newtown. On January 12th, a community group in Southington will host a “Violent Video Games Return Program,” where despite the name, it asks people to turn any types of violent media. In return, Polygon reports that they’ll get a $25 gift certificate from the local Chamber of Commerce, and the media itself will be “destroyed and placed in the town dumpster for appropriate permanent disposal,” probably by incineration.

It’s not violent video games causing the problem, they shouldn’t burn perfectly good media to try and prove a point....

this isn’t going to do anything. If you wanna stop violence, you should get rid of FOX news, CNN, etc.

Isn’t incineration a violent way of destroying something?
