Video Games come from hell.

Congresswoman Hilary Rodham-Clinton has initiated a Senate comittee hearing to discuss the dangers of video-games and new media. The Comittee met in open session and proceeded to hear arguments about the pros and cons of video games and what should be done about it.

Most notable of appearances to me is that of Rev. Steve Stricland who appeared under the pannel called "Science and Effects." This is despite the fact he is a Reverand, not a scientist. But he can provide accounts of the effects of video games, according to him. His brother was shot while on duty as a police officer with his own weapon by a teen. According to Rev. Stricland, it is because of Grand Theft Auto:Vice City, that this teen was able to remove the pistol from an officer and shoot two officers down.

Stricland said the video game "[taught the teen] how to do this." Stricland said all of this to the Senate Subcomittee for judicial affairs on March 29. Stricland had never heard of the game before the shooting, and he had never cared much about video games, it is only after the teen made a similie to video games about death that Stricland saw a smoking gun in Rockstar Games' hands.

Why is the senate listening to Stricland, hes not an expert, hes the brother of a dead cop, there is no evidence in the situation that the game allowed the teen to murder, no evidence that the teen would not have done this without playing.

"This is the violent video game world — a world that, as far as I am concerned, is straight from the pits of Hell." Those are the words of Rev. Stricland, what he chose to say before a Senate comittee, wise-up America, stop finding people to blame the industries you want to destroy.
