Thai Teen Nabbed in 'Grand Theft Auto' Copycat Killing

A 19 year old with an allowance and whose parents still control what he plays obviously isn't right. The media will nicely gloss over that fact.

Kind of hard for him to do anything other than harrassment, now that he's been disbarred. And I presume CNN and other large media are smart enough not to let him speak on the issue due to that little fact.

Classic deflection. Blame someone/something else to defer attention to the fact that you are an idiot. What do you bet that some kind of drug was involved.

I will bet 6 baht !

Of course the kid was crazy but don't try and tell me that these kinds of games have no effect on children. It's not a perfect world and not everyone is created or raised equally(parents obviously deserve some of the blame but only to a certain extent). Games like this can have a real effect on kids.
A 30 second commercial has been proven over and over again as effective in influencing adults and childrens behavior. It's laughable to think that an undeveloped/under-developed child wouldn't be influenced at all after playing these games for however many hours they take to complete.
