All Games Banned From MO Prisons

A while back we mentioned that Missouri pulled violent games from prisons on the basis that hardened criminals shouldn't be practicing their sharpshooting technique. Now, the new governor has removed all video games from the MO prison system. From the AP story: "Blunt, a Republican who took office two weeks ago, called video games 'a luxury that inmates should not be allowed to enjoy.'"

I doubt this has anything to do with rehabilitation and more to do with some Republican twit wanting to appear tough on crime. For those of you wondering why it matters that hes a Rep., there's less pressure on Dems. to do crap like this. Not saying they don't, just saying not as often. So anyway, these guys loose a major means of relaxation and fun primarilly for some jerk's political career.
