Man this is one of my pet peeves, heavy metal/hard rock music being blamed for peoples actions. What if this would have been a quote from Johnny Cash or Frank Sinatra? If this had been a quote from the Bible, he would have been cast as a religous zealot but God would not have been blamed. I doubt any such thing would have been mentioned in the media in the first place. What if the quote was from the Koran or some other non-american (I used that phrase loosely) non western based religion? Let the floodgates loose on this one. Typically the media blames something they don't understand and have never given a FAIR investigation in the first place. The whole point of metal music is an outlet for ALL emotions which people have, not a motivation for violence. Go get in a mosh pit and get knocked on your ass, the first thing you will see is a helping hand to get you up and join back in.
Below is a more fair assesment of the situation:
