GTA Blamed For Triple Murder

On September 27th, 2006 in Uncategorized -

jackiet.jpgAnti game crusader Jack Thompson is once again suing several companies on behalf of a family whose son “played GTA and shot three of his relatives”. The $600 million (yes, million) lawsuit includes Take-Two and Sony, among others.

Thomson says that the kid, Cody Posey (16), was playing the game “obsessively” and calls it a “virtual reality murder simulator”. According to the suit, the game

“trained him how to point and shoot a gun in a fashion making him an extraordinarily effective killer without teaching him any of the constraints or responsibilities needed to inhibit such a killing capacity”

Does anyone wonder why no one asks where these “obsessive” kids got the guns in the first place? Or is that too obvious?
