Why is it, if someone who plays D&D or video games kills someone; the headline is "Gaming Dork Kills someone"; but if they have any other hobby, it never comes up?

You never see "Chess player kills mother" or "stamp collector murders whole family."

As a group, gamers are no more violent than any other; and far less violent than your average high school or college football players.

Don't get me wrong. There are some nutcase gamers out there; but nutcases exist in every segment of society.
