Read the rest of the article, the writer makes some very good points.


These kids were old enough to know better, any sane person can't place the blame on video games. the could have gotten the idea form any visual media. Movies, TV, etc.

There was alchahol involved. If thye had have been watching a Van-Damm mvowie before hand the same outcome would ahve likely been reached.

Stupid people make me mad. They just gave the anti-video game camp a hand of ACES in the media...

Here's an idea.. take resposibility for your own fucking actions.. What about the parents here.. obviously these "kids" should not have been left in cahrge of a 7 year old...

One of the quotes on the story by a commenter: "The kid claimed to be a martial arts expert, so if anything all the tae kwon do dojos around the country should be shut down before they start blaming video games for this mess. Mortal kombat taught me to do an upercut by pressing "down A" I don't remember the part in the instruction manual that told me to drop kick my girlfriends little sister."

Relevant point.
