every time anything like this happens and they find a video game the persons house they always jump to the same conclusion. GRAND THEFT AUTO MADE HIM GO ON A SHOOTING RAMPGE!!! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
nevermind the fact that parents should be paying attention to how their child reacts to ANYTHING they see, be it in movies, TV, books, the news, or video games. Look at the numbers, billions of violent games are sold every year, we don't see billions of mass-murdering sprees like this... we see them sometimes but can we really attribute it to games?
I propose that this is a product of a society/gov't that is more worried about making money for the top 1% on the backs of the bottom 40%. Turn on MTV on any given day and you can see how fame and fortune is shoved down these kids throughts to the point that they think it's the way the wold really is.
Before attcking gamers, these talking heads need to look in the mirror, I'm looking at you Rush! Hate begets more hate, we reap what we sow....
