insertwackynamehere Posted August 11, 2005 http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/08/10/video.game.killings.ap/index.html/ a 20 year trying to argue that killing cops was allowed in GTA so he thought it could be done in real life lost. but what i dont understand is if it was ruled that games had nothing to do with it, then why are the victim's families suing the game companies? 0 Share this post Link to post

The victim's families need lots of money to make themselves feel better about the deaths? I'm not really sure why, but you know how today's society is, people are crazy about suing others. 0 Share this post Link to post

Submerge Posted August 11, 2005 If he got not guilty with that plea, I'd eat my fucking shoe. Thank god not EVERYONE in the world is a 'Blame GTA, it wasn't his fault!' type. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lobo Posted August 11, 2005 Wait I'm confused: you mean it's NOT OK to kill cops in real life?! Now you're gonna tell me that robbing a car and doing a drive-by is illegal too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted August 14, 2005 But that doesn't even make sense. It's not good to shoot cops in GTA, it's illegal, it gives you more wanted stars. 0 Share this post Link to post

One nice message GTA is giving out however, is that suicide is impossible, you just wake up outside the hospital unharmed and with a clean slate, so why bother? 0 Share this post Link to post
