Apparently, there is some fucktard lawyer in Miami trying to shut down Rock 
Star, the makers of GTA. Personally, I think he's just another ambulance 
chasing shyster lawyer trying to make a buck off the misery of others. Ya 
send letters, ya get responses. This is classic.

    Subject: Grand Theft Auto


    I am 15, and I play Grand Theft Auto. Look, presumably this game does 
not seem to have any effect on my mind or body. I know that in San Andreas 
you may play as a gangbanger who says, "Hey lets go roll on these fools." I 
am smart enough to know that I will never to any acts played out in this 
game. I do feel that you are harrassing Rockstar in a way. I mean, companies 
have been making violent movies and violent for years. Highschool shootings 
are not the cause of video games their are mostly because of bullying. Grand 
Theft Auto is what I call a "Stress Reliever", -a game where u can take all 
your rage out on. But hey millions of lawyers have tried 2 do the same to 
Rockstar. Just leave them alone, GTA is not targeted at the 8-year-old 
rugrats
    it for people that can understand that none of it is real. If you DO 
shutdown rockstar what are going to do when 4 million angry GTA fans knock 
at you door? Sorry for any comment that might of offended u.

If anything GTA should turn professional killers-to-be into incompetent
"Oh i can take 1425 shots, I've got a bullet proof vest" ideology using 
would be
'gangstaz' who try and hip shot things thinking that they don't have to aim,
like in the movies.

I mean honestly, these people will weed themselves out, what with 
evolution and all.


And I agree that it is a stress reliever, and that someone out their is 
out to make a quick buck..

It should be no problem if people pay attention to the ESRB rating. 
Human young aren't meant
for this stuff yet, much like how Tsarist Russia wasn't ready for 
Communism, or Canada and the
war of 1812, or Little Johnny learning that Santa doesn't exist after 8 
long years of worship.

Wow, you'd think, regarding his cause, that he's FOR the children. It 
makes you think otherwise with that comment :?

I FUCKING HATE laywers. They do nothing but sponge off of the misery and 
suffering and others and more often than not inflict that suffering in 
one way or another. They should all get incurable cancer and DIE and the 
world would be a better place for it. Fucking parasitic leeches.

I have news for you.  Little Johnny was only in the "hero worship" for
the presents.  Once he discovered he would still get the presents if
he didn't worship Santa Claus, he dropped him like a stone.  What a
user.
