Okay how do you explain people killing other people over Grand Theft Auto?

saying horror movies turn people into serial killers is just as dumb as the two kids that shot themselves back in the day and judas priest was blamed. seriously.

I do hope you will turn yourself in. These are serious crimes and these people have families.

i don't believe they influence to that extent, but horror movies certainly do influence a lot of people short term. How often have you being caught up in the action and said 'go on kill him' without thinking aboout it, or wished bloody vengance for the beaten nerd. Also when we were kids, how often did we pretend to do kung fu after watching a bruce lee film? howevber, i believe these are short term effects and are usually forgotten the next day. although a powerful and disturbing film and scene can stay in your memory for years.

It's still all about 'thinking' and 'actually doing'; people can have several evil thoughts but it doesn't mean they will actually do anything. I will never believe it has anything to do with movies, music, or video games; it's all about a person's mind. Simple as that.

LOVED THAT! STUPID PEOPLE!
