While there are people who are just born fucked in the head, i think this a very small percent of people who commit crimes. I think the majority of people who commit crimes have been pushed to the edge by a lot of different factors. I'm not saying violent movies or video games cause this, but once they get to that point and are now surrounded by this type of society/culture you have a powder keg ready to explode. The world pushes them to this point, then our art becomes their plan. Humans when in desperation to survive will become monsters, there is a beast inside us we try to keep tamed for the sake of civilization. Just about anyone when pushed far enough will release this beast to destroy their attacker.

You clearly haven't done much work in the fields of psychology/sociology. The majority of violent criminals (killers, rapists), are sociopaths - either born that way or made that way from their mind snapping under physical/emotional/sexual abuse. The people who commit violent acts beyond that are often provoked/misled (suicide bombers, bar fights). The kids who shoot up schools? Sociopaths that often broke under the stress of being bullied / being in a state of anomie. The slice of the crazy pie that media shares is at most around 5-10%... media's affect on people is completely insignificant next to other contributing factors.
GG though!
