8-year-old kills his grandmother after playing GTA

[QUOTE="Kevlar101"]Honestly, its the fault of whoever let him play it. Whoever that was, was being irresponsible, by not monitoring the child's influences and outlets such as GTA. .CajunShooter

While most 8 year olds know not to shoot their grandmothers in the head, an 8 year old kid's understanding of the difference between reality and fiction is not as developed as an older kid or an adult's, so I don't think it's responsible to let a kid that young play GTA in any context.

[QUOTE="lostrib"]

so is that like a 3 or 4 star wanted level?

Two.

Three is if you kill a police officer or a lot of them. 4 you'll have the swat team on you.

Except he already had 5, escalating him right up to 6.  Now the Army is on his ass, and Tanks as well as military transport vehicles are trying to crash his Infernus.

Video killed the Radio Star.

I'm going by real life and not the  5 stars he had in the game. :D

Killing only one person in a GTA game really doesn't get you much wanted stars.

Maybe that old hag didn't want to give him money for The Episodes from Liberty City. Serves her right. No kid should be denied that.

>after playing the violent video game

Yeah, we know where this is going. 

Maybe he got pissed off and went full potato because his video games were taken away. 

Why is an 8 year old playing gta in the first place?

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="Gaming-Planet"] I was around 7 when I played GTA 3. Couldn't wait 12 years just to play it.Gaming-Planet

I'm not trying to rag on your mom (because she might have been an overall lovely mother despite letting you play GTA 3 at seven), but I don't think it's ever a good idea to let a 7 year old play a GTA game. There's so many good age appropriate games a kid can play without ever touching GTA. And they don't have to play some lame tie-in movie sh!t either. A kid can play Zelda or Mario or Kingdom Hearts or something like that.

When I first played GTA 3 as a kid that sh*t was addictive as hell. My mother never knew.;)

But I already knew GTA 3 was JUST A GAME.

Also there are games way worse than the GTA series like the Postal series or Manhunt which got banned in a lot of countries.

He was only influenced by GTA if he tried to evade police by going to sleep.

I can't help but feel the like two arguments 'video games don't promote violence!' and 'kids that age shouldn't be playing violent games like this!' sort of contradict.

So I suppose if someone ate carrot cake before killing someone, carrot cake is the reason for the murder?

Me too, great clip.

Parents' fault that he had access to the gun, and the parents' fault that he was allowed to play a game that he's not legally able to buy himself. Parents are to blame, 100%, no point in discussing further. Non-issue.

Holy shit that's awesome.

could have been a movie or tv show also. they fvcked up by giving him access to violence.

If there wasn't a gun,this wouldn't have happened.

I've been playing GTA since I was 6. Clearly I must be some sort of supermurderer but I have yet to access these powers. Oh well, no time to check, I have to hibernate and wait for GTA V.

1. Why was an 8 year old playing an M-rated game? Where was his supervisor?
2. Why did an 8 year old have access to a firearm? Where was his supervisor?

If there wasn't a violent video game, this wouldn't have happened. :roll:

The problem isn't the firearm, or the video game. It is with the parents. Guns do not tell you to shoot other people, if there wasn't a gun the kid may of used a hammer, bat, or a knife.

This made me chuckle.

This is an example of art imitating life and it doing so is indicative of how parents are not raising their children properly. When a cartoon/comic pokes fun at you for your actions, you should know you have hit bottom.

If you cannot raise children properly, keep your legs shut, take the pill, get the implants, use condoms or just abstain to keep from having children that you do not intend to raise with some modicum of decorum.

I love the Boondocks. The writer does take a lot of cues from real life and this is just an example of it.

Don't feed the troll. 

"Child psychologist Dumbass McDumbass said access to a violent video game such as Grand Theft Auto IV may encourage aggressive behaviour."

And access to actual firearms is surely fine.

If only the grandmother had a gun, she could have protected herself.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="SNIPER4321"] Kids play because its easy and casual game. plus u know how mainstream games sell. Kids cant play original Mafia which was release same time as GTA3 and was better in every way because its too hard for them. while being Much better game.WhiteKnight77
