And as someone who is experiencing rather severe depressions for ~2 years now, I completely agree.
Depressions don't make you want to hurt others, a "healthy" depressed person has no interest in harming others, ever.
The problem lies elsewhere.

Somewhat awkward for sure: a male online gamer Muslim immigrant takes over the clean conservative extremist-bio-German argumentation against Muslim immigrants and starts to follow his impulse.

LOL.... Here in the U.S. we pretty much debunked that argument back in the 90's, although there are some who still believe it.

simple fact is that killing for anything other than self defense or in defense
of another is wrong. Trying to "understand" the actions that lead up to these killings is nothing but an exercise in futility, since the reasons for these incidents are as myriad and varied as the killers themselves.

In other words, there are some people who just don't belong in society and there isn't a whole lot you can do to stop it and still retain any measure of individual freedom.

A guy herein Germany commented on the killergame debate like this:

he referred to the fact that there are not only killergames, but also killerbooks and killerscriptures, for unknown reason these do not get criticised by politicians, especially when they are claimed to be "holy". - Also, there are killertrees and killerbranches, that were already used by young boys like Ceasar, Alexander, Napoleon and Kublai Khan to run around with in the forest and play legionaire and barbarian and hacking away at each other. We all know where this led.

German link: http://boess.welt.de/

During the football Euro, a netmum advised parents to not watch football with kids, for it teaches the little darlings competitive behaviour and applauding the one team, which might hurt the feelings of kid fans of the other team, also she does not want to give kids an example of that scoring goals can make you win a game, for games should be played with each other, not against each other. - God help her cute, sweet kids if they ever happen to cross my way, they might end up as spread on my bread, or dinner surprise during my next BBQ. I bet their meat will be especially delicious, soft and delicate, with a soft flavour of sensibility and unaggressiveness and no bitter taste at all.

Also, the attacker on Friday should have gotten his weapon via the darknet, illegally. That does not change the fact that once again German gun laws for legal owners should be tightened again. - Germany already has the third or fourth tightest and strictest gun laws in the world.

The conditioned-reflex-brigade already has taken over again.

Most aggression of online gamers must be observed directly after LAN-parties, I guess.

Them bathing in adrenaline and murderous intent, shoudn't the news of LAN-party massacres make more headlines?

Or do our rulers just miss the opportunity to control our perception, to take some of our liberties?

Also, if they must target games, they target the wrong ones.
Counter-Strike? Pff
Ego-Shooters in general never ever made me rage anything like FIFA, or worse: Top Spin 2.

My blood pressure still rises when I remember some TS2 sessions.

Syrian asylum seeker kills woman and injures two other with a machete in Germany. Authorities don't believe it was terror related though. He was known to the police. I would say that his application for asylum might not be granted now. Don't throw him in prison, throw him from a plane over Syria, from 10,000 feet, that should do it I would think!

Your fathers taught the German Nazis, that's not a proper way to deal with humans.
Some died for it - to make the world a better place. They shall never be forgotten.

And now you show up with this advice?

You don't have to read my posts homeboy, guess you feel nothing for that poor woman who lost her life do you! Most of your posts don't make any sense to anyone, so I wouldn't talk too damned loud!
