Video Game Violence Verdict "GTA made me do it" (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8889445/) guy of capital murder for shooting two cops and a radio dispatcher then blaming GTA for “making” him do it. People blaming video games for real world violence…take note. Thanks to [H]ard|OCP (http://www.hardocp.com) for this one.





Defense lawyers had partly blamed Moore’s actions on the hours he spent playing video games from the “Grand Theft Auto” series, in which players shoot police officers and steal cars. After his arrest, told police, “Life is a video game; everybody has to die sometime.”





My 2 cents: This reminds me of the whole 80's thing where parents were blaming Dungeons & Dragons saying it turned their kids from God and made them occultists.

They should hang him just for trying to use that as an excuse. Shit like this doesn't help the ongoing debate.

Man, they're always trying to use those excuses for stupid things that they do. Honestly, if people can't seperate imaginary from reality, then I hope they rot in jail for ruining it for the rest of us.
