that's ridiculous you know? the direction this country is taking in so many areas makes me want to vomit. they should change the National Anthem from the Star Spangled Banner to Slayer's "South of Heaven"...way more fitting these days than the former.
I agree, there is nothing to do with the video game. The parents of those teenagers should be the one to be blamed due to their lack of guidance to their kids.
It's not just the parents tho.. what about the responsibility of the teachers, the media, etc? And a parent can't guide their kids if their (the parents) hands are tied.. all a kid has to do is cry a little to the guidance counselor at school that their parents are being mean to them and all the sudden you have DSS at your door to investigate.
it's not really the games to be blamed... its on the supervision of the parents, whether they allowed kids to play this type of game... negligence is really the problem...
This video kinda blurs the distinction between real life and "make believe".. and it's hilarious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRKjMv3hblA
