    This scene sums up why I always try to catch reruns of Law & Order whenever I can. Sam Waterson and Dennis Boutsikaris are both superb actors at the top of their respective games here. The look Boutsikaris gives Waterson when he says 'Dangerous guy!' is understated but hints, jokingly at: don't push it mister. This, the original of the franchise with Jerry Orbach was brilliant and I'm grateful it's still being broadcast.

    I don't believe watching violence on television can turn a person into a killer but I do believe it can have a negative effect on person who has low self image and mental illness, I love Law & Order, it is one of the best and my favourite shows of all time and it is the best.

    Law and Order was such a masterpiece. Everyone acted like a professional. Where are these people? Why are we watching low-quality actors now in movies?

    That defense attorney has obviously never heard the phrase "correlation doesn't prove causation."

    My generation - Generation X - spent our childhood playing cowboys and crooks outside with plastic toy pistols that used red strips of explosive material to simulate the sound and smell of gunfire, we used sticks and branches as swords to play He-Man, we used slingshots on reach other and fired taut rubber bands at each other and each Saturday morning we watched some of the most violent cartoons of all time - Tom & Jerry, and Bugs Bunny & Friends. We watched old John Wayne westerns on television where The Duke gunned bad guys down on the street. And every single one of my friends and I all grew up to be teachers, writers (I became both of those), doctors, lawyers, business owners, bankers, commercial and recreational pilots, law enforcers, singers, actors, among other professional positions. Not one of us was ever tempted to go out there and play cowboys and crooks for real. Why? Because we had the common sense to know what was real and what was not.

      I grew up watching tv alot all i saw was violence and suffering and what changed me? Well i saw a movie hack saw ridge about a story of a soldier who fought without a weapon without firing a single shot
      In my past people have been cruel but i never tolerated violence in any shape or form i never had never did and never will
      Desmond doss inspired me of that
      soldier who never fired a single shot a man who saved 75 men

      @@tereasdownes9793 I watched that movie, too. He was ridiculed and called a coward for not using a firearm during the war. But his name now belongs in the hallowed halls if heroism. The soldier who fought WWII without a single weapon and without firing a single shot, he save more lives than many of those who did. Not taking away anything from the other soldiers, I deeply admire The Greatest Generation for what they went through and what they did. Heroes, all. But yes, I see your point.

    Everything can influence people's minds, it depends on whether you give it enough attention or not.
    For example, if your father says something and you don't like your father, you will not believe him. But if your crush says the same exact thing.... heh.
    Everything can influence people's minds, "but this doesn't excuse us from being decent human beings or from making moral choices".
    Now the point is: what if your morals was defined by somebody who's very good at convincing people but very bad at respecting the law?
    I don't think watching violent movies or playing violent games makes you a killer.
    But if you don't give your children a proper moral guide, somebody else or something else will do.
    Their circle of friends. Their lovers. Their teachers. Television. Videogames.
    Just because it's fiction it doesn't make it less dangerous.
    Remember that fiction is always written by real people.

    Sorry, but McCoy's argument is not convincing. We learn by watching others and imitating them. Although no one really has free will, we must act as if we do to justify holding those society deems criminals accountable for their anti-social, sociopathic, behaviors. Some humans are just too dangerous to be allowed to live freely in the general population.
