This kid didn't shoot people because he played GTA. I'm sorry, end of story. Chances are, the little voices inside his head made him do it. In the end, nobody can force anybody to DO anything. Bloodsucking lawyers REALLY need to take a break for once, because sorry, but some people are really just severely mentally disturbed. Until everyone realizes this, I'm waiting for the "hate crimes towards the alien community" lawsuit from Space Invaders, and the guy who downloaded the songs he has on vinyl to get taken down by the RIAA. Besides, if the parents/victims REALLY thought violent video games did this, there's plenty of activist groups they can hook up with. Even suing for a few million is not going to make sony take GTA off the shelves.
