I don't think media contributes that much to this disconnection. It's a factor in controlling worldview, but in and of itself it isn't getting people out in the street like this.
You'd have be tremendously stupid to think video games and life are the same thing. These people do exist, but they are too stupid to achieve more than a day long crime spree ending in a police shooting or 200 year sentence. They are definitely NOT politically minded.
What media does is indoctrinates a particularly worldview. The core of the worldview is that people are children and need to be protected. This worldview seeps into politics and systems are then built around making that worldview a reality. THAT's what gives you morons in the street like this. It's several steps removed from vidya.
