yep it was the game. Not that the kid obviously thought it would be ok to rob someone at knife point. Obviously only that GTA game is what gave him the incentive to rob and then murder. Couldn't be he was already f'ed up in the head and probably beat animals. Couldn't be the the violence in movies or anyother media. Had to be the game because he said he was wanted to copy a fictional character.

Man I need to shoot a canon at my neighbor just to see if he turns all black and blinks at me like the old looney tunes.

lots of people in denial that video games have an impact on some of us.

superchunk: Yes, oddly, they do. One disintegrated, aside from the mouth, that cursed me. He was fine by the Tuesday next week.

Also, games made me do it has gone on all continents but Antarctica now? Or maybe not Africa yet.

Great... more fuel for the anti-gaming fire.

I think this psycho would of eventually killed someone whether or not he played GTA. It takes a kind of person to do that. This has been going on for years and will continue. The worst thing that can happen is a game franchise like GTA could be crippled because of a few sick twisted individuals.

Now we all known that problem wasn't come from GTA ,but it's from system and parents that inabilities to control and made kids understand what's right or wrong.I bet that presses here'll have something to flame for a big while.

(Actually ,we have people like Jack Thompson here ,and they have power to do something horrible to gamer in Thailand too...)

If you have a chance to make "A big ape with six hands closing his eyes, ears and brain ,trying not to understand anything from gamer's opinion." here understand what's the cause of this problem .
What will you say?Especially they thinking like "Kids know nothing".

Someone ate toast then robbed a bank!

TOAST SHOULD BE BANNED!
