» Mental Illness
Kristian, it's called facing your condition and learning how to act... If you are bi-polar, then you need to relax when you start having rage swings. If you are depressed, you need to deal with it enough to be able to work your job. If you are schizo, then you need to learn not to listen to the voices. There is too much lack of responsibility nowadays. HAVING A MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT A FREE PASS TO BREAK THE LAW DOUCE!

This is as bad as that girl in Fl who killed a guy and claimed it was the E she took, since when are drugs part of the defense, shouldnt that make the crime that much worse.
Besides, skunk weed sucks.
As a former pot smoker who suffers from manic depression and played GTA, the only victim I left in my wake was a bag of cool ranch doritos.

» You have no idea at all...
You don't know what it is like to not know the difference between real and not real. To not know what you are doing - where you have been - what you have done or why. You don't know anything. If you think that mental illness is simply a matter of not doing something and you're fine then you need some real education.
My comment about killing wasn't meant to be real.
But the way people treat mental illness is horrible.
You try and be Schizophrenic - you try and see what it is like when you have no control over yourself. The times when you do have control you're barely alive. And people think that you're a horrible person.
Let me tell you something. I will go to heaven - I am a good person. Despite what this illness has made me do or will make me do.
I fight harder then you can imagine - don't think that breaking the law has anything to do with wanting to. If someone breaks the law knowingly - then they should be jailed - if they do it unknowingly, like someone in a Psychotic state - then they should be given time in a mental institution. We aren't animals - we're human too.

you'd think someone like that would be limited from seeing anything violent such as a video game.
then again,i hear a voice that tells me to rescue a princess...
so if anyone knows any princesses for me to save,send me a message.

Where are the people to put a stop to these kinda blamings. A while back a little gil jumpped off of her kitchen counter with a broom and blamed it on harry potter! then, also with columbine, they blamed Doom! There should be a law on it saying no blamiing a movie or game.
thats my 2 cents lol.

» A Basic Life Right Is That You Have The Right To Defend Yourself.
Just think if an outside force were coming to play invade you, wouldn't you want to have a gun? If you ban guns then you should ban household chemicals, gasoline and even water. Hell you can take dc electricity and turn water back to hydrogen and oxygen which together with an ignition source is highly explosive.

Well, You know Americans, they have to make everything abou them, tards.
I agree that it should be Illegal to blame video games. And the blame should be soely shifted to the accused caregiver(s) Skizopherenia is a SERIOUS disorder with SERIOUS concequences if the caregiver isnt attentive. This isnt an article why people shouldnt play GTA, this is an artical about why people should yake Skitzophrenia more seriously

This happened in the uk and was a stabbing. I've played GTA many times over so have my friends we are not going around trying to kill everyone, we dont hear voices in our heads, neither are we trying to rob any banks or people. I hope the judge in court realises that its not games that are cause of problems like this. One more thing mentally ill people often have doctors who are supposed to determin whether or not people are fit to roam around with other members of society I guess they made a bad call on this fool.

kids that smoke weed an do class A's should not play GTA and then make up a lame excuse.

If he didn't have GTA there would be something else for him to hear voices from. Perhaps Arnold would have told him to do it while watching Terminator.
The guy is seriously messed up, GTA isn't the cause and I'm shocked that they even reported that minor detail.
But because they have, people will probably take it seriously and Jack Thompson will get a few more recruits. To those people I say; You're just as deluded as Ezekiel Maxwell.

» Drugs are to blame
Like it says, if theres nothing wrong with your head in the first place before you play these games, then theres no real problem, because all your marbles are in the right place and you've got a very solid grip on reality. If however you've been ruining yourself with drugs for years, then it only makes sense that things are going to affect you differently. Get rid of the drugs an you'll rarely see stories like this again. Since he was 14? No wonder hes schizophrenic. Drugs are for tossers with IQ's still in the single figures.

What are you a cop or politician?
Sickening how drugs are blamed for everything. Marijuana makes people less violent and is one of the mildest drugs there is.
He's a schizophrenic, and has a chronic mental disorder. While 14 is too young to use any drug, his parents are to blame for that. He likely uses drugs because of schizophrenia, but the schizophrenia led him to kill. That's one of the reasons how dumbasses in the USA got weed illegal in the first place. They said some guy with schizophrenia killed his family because he smoked weed. That's what led to Refer Madness, the most rediculous anti drug movie of all time. Schizophrenia is a disease you are born with, it isn't caused by drugs! What are you smoking?
My god you are the stupidest person I've ever seen on this forum.
