The bleeding of American culture north of the border is double edged sword, and this one cuts deeply.

Blaming the US for things such as this is nothing more than the easy answer. You, nor I have absolutely any idea what the circumstances were that lead to this. For you to immediately assume that it was some kid who listens to rap music and plays too much xbox is beyond naive.
The only way for your theory to be proven is to erase the US culture as it is. Otherwise, it's merely some people's way of saying 'It's not our fault'.
