Comment This is so stupid (Score 2, Interesting) 67

I need to get this off my chest.

This is so ridiculously stupid in point form

1. If GTA3 made them kill then what is to say that a violent movie / or song couldn't do the same. They were obviosly mentally unstable to start with.

2. What about gun control? Why does a 14 and 16 yr old need access to a gun? I don't see a reason. ( and no, self defence from someone else with a gun doesn't cut it as they probably would have a gun either if there was gun control) Don't blame video game maker just because the is a gaping big hole in the constitution.

3. Where are the family and friends in all this? Did they have so little to do with there sons/friends that they had no idea they were capable of these sorts of actions. They obviously didn't know these two kids from the next.

4. Millions of other people play GTA3. I myself play and have no want or need to start randomly shooting people. I have been playing games of this nature since I was about 13. Perhaps these are just defective humans / bad genes. These kids were destined to kill themselves in some easily avoid accident and go in the runnings for the darwin awards, making the human race better by ridding themselves from it!

5. Crap point but none the less. You get put in Jail in GTA3 if you shoot people, highlighting that it is bad and against the law to kill people / shoot at cars. They played the game long enough for it to influence them right? How come they didn't see this?

Why are criminals no longer resonsible for there actions? Perhaps familys and schools are not teaching "responsibilty for your own actions" well enough. Why are they being sued?
