[quote:454d3]"The industry needs to cough up money so victims and their families can be compensated for their pain," Thompson said. "The shareholders need to know what their games are doing to kids and their families. They need to stop pushing adult rated products to kids. These products are deadly." [/quote:454d3]
WTF? cough up money? it's the parents fault...for one..how the hell did the kids get the guns? they are 16 and 14...Can you say GUN SAFE? it's not the games fault..i don't play halo...go to school and imagine that there are aliens running around and toss nades with duct tape on them at people..NO...i don't play GTA and go outside thinking i have a mission to kill the drug lord down the street..NO it's just a scape-goat so that the parents and kids have something to blame instead of all the heat going on the parents for being such fuck-tards while raising thier children..

if i remember correctly, if they enforced any of the MA 18+ whatever regulation laws on video games..and 16 and a 14 year old are not allowed to purchase a game such as GTA 3.. THE PARENT DOES! so...blame the parent not the game...
it's like everytime there is a violent act commited by children with guns
they blame it on the MEDIA, MUSIC or Games.......sad just sad..
i would like to extend my apologies to the familys who have lost in this incedent.....
