Dylan and Klebold never tried to blame Manson (Or DooM), for that matter. It was picked up on by the press who, as ever, like their popular scapegoats. In fact, it is rumored they both disparaged Manson for being too mainstream.

"You know, not every kid that plays a violent video game is gonna turn to violence. And that's because they don't have all of those other risk factors going on," says Walsh. "It's a combination of risk factors, which come together in a tragic outcome." (From that CBS link, said by one David Walsh.)

Well yeah. Not every Muslim is going to pick up a knife and try hijacking a plane. Not every Christian is going to mount a crusade or three. But the risk factors are there!
