More Bad Press for Knoxville
The idiot lawsuit I mentioned here is getting national press coverage:
A $246 million lawsuit was filed against the designer, marketer and a retailer of the video game series “Grand Theft Auto” by the families of two people shot by teenagers apparently inspired by the game.
The suit claims marketer Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., designers Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games, and Wal-Mart, are liable for $46 million in compensatory damages and $200 million in punitive damages.
Aaron Hamel, 45, a registered nurse, was killed and Kimberly Bede, 19, of Moneta, Va., was seriously wounded when their cars were hit June 25 by .22-caliber bullets as they passed through the Great Smoky Mountains.

Sk stole your thunder. Although I did get a laugh in the comment section from the usual yes men who blamed it on the GOP, Good ole boys, conservatives, evil corporations blah blah blah…you know the drill. i find it rather odd that no one is really focusing on how the two fucktards managed to take their guns out of the house with parental approval. blame is 50/50. the father is fucktard numero uno for not locking his guns up…fucktard numero 2/3 are the kids who will receive a whopping 4-5 years in “prison” until they hit 18. thats the real travesty.
