-=SD=- Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 ?There is no credible evidence that violent games lead to violent behavior,? he said. ?While video games may provide a simple excuse for the teenagers involved in this incident, responsibility for violent acts belongs to those who commit them.? That says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noir Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 They should sue the parents for being morons. What about all other people who've played GTA without killing anyone? Just these ****tards left a gun so the kids could easily swipe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougkinzinger Posted October 22, 2003 Author Share Posted October 22, 2003 I love it--they've even named Wal-Mart as a defendant---for selling the game. Jeez people, might as well blame the company that poured the pavement at the Wal-Mart parking lot for letting people enter the store!! :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julia's_Phate Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 If you can't see the line between reality and your video game you don't deserve to have press coverage. :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shihchiun Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 (edited) Not again... I find it rather pathetic that someone can actually believe a video game caused this. Edited October 22, 2003 by MrDennis89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted October 22, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 22, 2003 Thompson has made similar claims in the past and lost, notably a $33 million lawsuit against video game makers stemming from the 1997 school shooting near Paducah, Ky., by a 14-year-old boy. So, he lost and is now trying to sue again over an even larger ammount! Good lord! Does he even percieve the concepts of precedence? :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M$ Agent #2 Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Maybe the people that got shot or the families of the victims should sue the people who did the shootings or provided access to the gun.... and thats about as far as one could go with any legal action.

snocked Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 That was the first time I ever hit anyone seriously and not in a joking manner. Yes, it was because of the game; there's always going to be some people that respond to entertainment like this, just like some do to certain music. This game has also made me fantasize about running up and attacking my professors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kryptonik Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 *I* can - but I bet those kids can't :blink: Those kids are dumbasses. They probably are troublemakers to begin with and have parents that don't give a rat's ass about their kids. Kids go out and do something stupid, and they say it was the games...when in fact is was their own damn fault. When will the world realize that you can't make money off of everything? :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
