Go go pikachu! (Score 1)

If he can say that it's because of the video game that he killed police officers, then i'm going to go catch some small animals in a ball and try to do battle with other people...because i can do that in pokemon so it must be real. The purpose of the rating system on video games is so parents know what their children are getting. I'd be willing to bet that their parents bought the game for him...or at least knew he had it...they probably should have realized that games like that are not meant for their child and should have done something about it. Where'd he get the gun? They're not suing the gun owner are they? If they lose this lawsuit are they going to say that it was actually caused by the music he listens to? I'm 17 and i play GTA a lot...but my parents told me not to go kill people after playing...my parents have taught me morals and what is right vs what is wrong....i'm perfectly sane after beating GTA...i have no sudden urge to go shoot a cop or run over a hooker. It would appear that this kid had some problems...he probably should have been seeing a therapist...again a call of the parents...someone needs to spend some quality time with their child...maybe he'd be less likely to go on a Kill Frenzy in the middle of town.
