Grand Theft Auto saves the day!
Quote:
(12/11/04 – SANTA FE, TX) — A video game notorious for violence and mature content may have actually saved a Santa Fe family.
Back in March, Sandy Wilson was taking care of her three grandsons when a group of men attempted to burglarize her home, pointing a gun at the kids.
The children happened to be playing a video game called Grand Theft Auto at the time. The game has dozens of random police scanner messages, which blare out calls such as "This is the police! You’re surrounded!" Believe it or not, Wilson says the burglars heard that message and thought police were outside the door waiting for them.
Galveston County Asst DA Michael Elliott explained, "The police in the game were staying, 'Stop, we have you surrounded. This is the police.’ The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked ... being apprehended by Playstation."
"Thinking that it was pretty funny," recalled young victim Chaze Fisher. "How they were, like, ran off, and they got all scared over a game."
Police arrested the four men. Samuel Woodrow received a five-year prison sentence this week. Ronnie Farris is serving four years. Lucas Griffin got probation. And Zachary Brandenburg’s trial is in January.

GTA as a life-saving device?

Lucky is all I have to say. Because I think I would be able to distinguish the difference between an actual person and an in-game recording.

Re: Grand Theft Auto saves the day!
I just got a phone call from some organization trying to stop violence & language in media (tv shows, video games, movies)...
Lucky for me the survey is only for "young families". I'm baby-free! which means I didn't have to do it and I didn't have to be rude.

Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

Re: Grand Theft Auto saves the day!
I just had a flashback to Home Alone. I didn't know that kind of stuff actually happened.
The world just gets weirder every day. Isn't it great?
