I have to agree Neil - I think that's called paranoia. People can be very different without being violent. Unfortunately, violence is glorified in the media all the time - it doesn't surprise me that there is a Columbine Massacre video game. Some people will be drawn to this and cross the line. I doubt that there is any way of knowing who will or who won't. Chances are that if anyone was close to this individual they would have seen signs of an unstable or troubled person. But someone - such as a parent or a close friend would have to care enough to try to get involved and help this person out and that isn't always easy.
