Personally, I think GTA is pretty damn violent, and that it should probably be taken off shelves. There are plenty of other cool bloody games to play that don't involve in directly killing people and stealing their shit.
In this case, however, why should the video game industry be sued and blamed?! Where were the damn parents when the kid was playing all these hours and hours? And with WHAT MONEY did the kid buy the video game?- obviously, probably money his parents gave him. His troubled upbringing most likely affected him more than playing that game would.
Another point I thought of: At 18, you can be trained to shoot and kill other people. That's called being in the army. Those young men that get trained in the army could have the same potential of killing police officers as the ones that are trained by video games. Is it that much different?
