GRAND THEFT AUTO BLAMED FOR FIREBOMBINGS IN GEORGIA

[Chandler]

GTA 4 blamed for another criminal act.
​

Another day, another story of criminals taking the "GTA Defense." In Milton, Georgia, three teenagers were arrested after several cars were firebombed with Molotov ****tails on the evening of July 24 (via WSBTV). The teens were caught when police pulled receipts from a local Wal-Mart and found one listing Sprite bottles, red rags, and lighter fluid. From there, they looked at the store surveillance tapes and were able to identify the ones involved. When confronted, what explanation did the teenagers give for their actions? Why, that Grand Theft Auto taught them "how to do it" of course. Each teen is now being charged with 19 felony counts, including arson, criminal damage to property, and possession of explosive devices.<o></o>

What happened to the good old days when teenagers would blame The Anarchist Cookbook or Che Guevara's Guerrilla Warfare on these sorts of things? Kids just don't read as much as they used to.

Wow... GTA Never Taught anyone how to make something. so obviously that is not true.

The fact that the people who play GTA and blame it on them, its not the games fault, its the persons fault, they need to have a BRAIN and realize what they are doing.

I heard of another story where a kid robbed a car and shot somebosy and said the game possessed him to do it. The judge actually gave him time at a Rehabilitation center and not as much time in jail.
