GTA Blamed for Graffiti

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday December 29, 2004 @05:32AM from the personal-responsibility-is-for-the-birds dept.

Voodoo Extreme is reporting on a group of Greensburg, PA boys who went on a Graffiti spree and then blamed it on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. From the article: "The boys range in age from 12 to 14 and are charged with institutional vandalism, criminal conspiracy, criminal mischief and desecration of venerated objects." Is it just me or, um, should 12 year olds not be playing GTA?

In most places there are no loaws regulating age for video games, it's just a suggestion to be used for parent,s likewise movie ratings are not a law based requirments, both are efforts to keep the law out of the industry by self policing.
