While I think that saying GTA and the like cause people to run rampant with a GAT is the highest form of utter bullshit imaginable (I agree totally with you, Kimon), I also believe in immitatable acts and the utter stupidity of your averge pre-teen (excluding some of the members of OWF).
I also think making a game that allows the player to use a person as a HUMAN SHIELD is just asking for trouble. In my opinion, people are trying way to hard to go above and beyond the GTA series. And like I said: immitatable acts and stupid kids.
But I still don't think every single 11 year old is going to go from "Huh, 25 to Life is fun." to "You'll never take me alive, coppers!" A lot of kids have more common sense then that, and it's usually the really stupid ones who do this shit.
