GTA Blamed for Graffiti

Posted by Zonk on 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?

    spray paint can be fun anyway has anyone played Jet Set Radio good game...

    oh yeah and blame should be for the people who own the objects that got sprayed...they should have smacked the boys with the walls...ARGH!!!
    --- they should reward the boys for their wonderful art ---
    if they like imiating gta san andres so much they should let the boys play as innocent bystanders just like in the gta san andres...then they can find a random kid to play the game and whatever the kid does to the bystanders they can do to the boys...
    --- how I feel so smart just like those kids ---

    Then slap the ones that answer "no" until they tell the truth and be done with it.

    Please never have children. (Of course, most of the slashdot isn't inclined, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.)
