I wasn't going to write about this. I was going to write about Pokemon today. I had written an entire entry today that was going to talk about how Pokemon Gold and Silver were superior games to Red and Blue in practically every way. The blog was half written, with several pictures and everything. But deep down I knew that there was something else that I needed to talk about, something far more important. On August 24, 2013, an eight year old child shot and killed his grandmother in the home that the two shared.
The child, when questioned by police, claimed that it was an accident. However, upon investigating, the police found some evidence that the shooting was deliberate. Basically, they found out that the kid was playing Grand Theft Auto 4, just minutes before the murder.
Gangsters, prostitutes, murder, theft. Oh yes, this is totally acceptable children's entertainment <sarcasm>
