Policeman Blames London Riots on GTA
Options
Violent games center of attention again.
The recent riots in London over the weekend are being linked video games.
An unnamed police constable was quoted in the London Evening Standard today saying, "Go home, get a takeaway and watch anything that happens on TV. These are bad people who did this. Kids out of control. When I was young it was all Pacman and board games. Now they're playing Grand Theft Auto and want to live it for themselves."
Riots began in Tottenham, north London, on Saturday night after a local man, reportedly armed with a replica gun, was shot and killed by police on Thursday.
So far, police have arrested over 160 people and charged 16 of them with crimes for burglary and possession of weapons.

I agree. It's all GTA's fault that people are out there rioting. It's also GTA's fault that the economy has turned to ? , unemployment is high, the government is cutting everything left, right and centre, that there are less opportunities for school leavers and university graduates, and that there's now a lost generation of people who are growing up worse off than their parents. He's totally right.

I support him, actually. I mean, if GTA didn't take place in 1969, he knows if the Detroit, L.A., or London riots would've ever taken place.
