…I Don’t Believe In Anything Anymore, I’m Going To Law School

Not sure what’s worse here, the fact that it took so long for someone to project murderous blame on G.T.A., that there are attorneys out there that actually worked on this as a defense, or that someone is attempting to leech off the whole, terrible mess.
From MSNBC
FAYETTE, Ala. - A 20-year-old whose lawyers claimed the video game “Grand Theft Auto” and childhood abuse caused him to kill three small-town police officers was convicted Tuesday of capital murder.

Sigh…
Defense lawyers had partly blamed Moore’s actions on the hours he spent playing video games from the “Grand Theft Auto” series, in which players shoot police officers and steal cars…
Officers had taken Moore to police headquarters for booking on a stolen auto charge. Authorities said Moore, who was 18 at the time, grabbed one of the officer’s guns and fatally shot all three victims in the head before fleeing in a patrol car
.

Yes, no other form of media has ever shown the killing of an officer of the law (say is Reservoir Dogs on HBO this month? Guess I‘ll have to TiVO it, I‘m busy reading Serpico and listening to NWA).
I suppose I could go into a tirade about how I hit my wife in the head last night with an anvil after watching Bugs Bunny, but that has so been done before (besides, where would I get an anvil?)
When respectfully used with their original intent, our Nation’s court systems tend to work, after all this ass-faced piece of work will probably face the death penalty. Way to go, prosecuting attorneys.
And then this has to happen-
The victims’ families have filed a civil suit against the video game manufacturer and two stores, claiming Moore killed the three after repeatedly playing “Grand Theft Auto III” and “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.” No trial date has been set in the civil lawsuit.
.
Sure, a horse-shit, projectionist lawsuit ought’a ease your pain. I’m sure the plaintiffs were in no way contacted by bottom-feeding Civil Suit Attorneys. They came up with that one on their own.
You know what would be great- if ‘Suicide Solution’ was somewhere on the G.T.A. soundtrack- that would just make the whole thing one big, useless circle of our court systems for all to abuse.
