  • I commend them, no it's not right, and i wouldn't do at least to innocent people. for some reason it's funny to me

  • I quickly read the disclaimer before the game grand theft auti IV and saw that the makers of gta are not responsible for any game related crimes.

  • And the video game made him do it? A joke.

  • they fucking it up for everybody

  • $10 says they didn't even check to see if they play GTA.

  • That woman in the beginning of the video isn't being pleased by her man

  • This is bullsh*t The gta series never encouraged violents although it does have violent material in it. which is the sole purpose of the esrb rating 17+.

  • this is so stuped

    

  • im dont have any fucking video games but i heard of gta and the queefing teens are just fakeing it to make people to be sad for him and try to get out of jail or whatever but it is so stuped video gamers i would like you to know this freedom but you need to kill in real life that brakes the rules in alot of religons jewish calthic atheist deist muslum and there is propaly more we do not need a war of freedom if that happens from this that will just be a big bitch

  • if it is within a persons conscious to do it. it would have happened regardless. Stop blame placing. Typical these days. Like a video game makes you do anything! lol

  • No, the game is not the cause, people are. People hate taking any responsibility. The media wants to say that games are evil and do this. Does a game rob you at gunpoint? No. Does a game murder you? No. Can a person do that? Yes.

  • you know what I have to say... It's all Dimitri Rascalov's fault

  • its available for little kids???Take it off the shelves?? hello its meant for adults. M rated! they should hold the parents responsible for providing GTA IV.

  • They kind of over looked that there's no weapon known as 'Broom stick' in GTA4... is there?

  • well they wasnt raised right. PERIOD!

  • None of the retards realize that if there were no videogames like that, young people would find other ways to release their natural urge for violence irl.

  • lmao. that lady in the beginning is so dumb. you know what. lets ban porno in urban area's because they premote sex. and we all know we don't need anymore kids in the 'hood', as a matter of fact, how about rap music too. or mcdonalds. that makes your fat. or anything else that you can deem is bad because some people can't control themselves. lets make excuses for people, instead of calling them fuck ups (which is the appropriate term...) yeah. that makes more sense right? die humans... die. lol

  • Ah yes, video games are to blame. Not because the teens are idiots and were delinquints from the beggining, noooooo. It's all the video game's fault. It's also not a factor of the people they live near or with, nope, allll video games. I love how the media only gives information on the crime perpetrated and not the perpetrator unless the perpetrator had something to do with what they don't like.

  • what do you mean 'they needed something to do', they could have played gta

  • thats so stupid i love the gta series ...but i also love ...NOT being in jail...ALOT! its a bad place...how intoxicated were these morons ? i was a teen not to long ago...i don't remember being this easily influenced. i grew up with lots of racing games. yet i have a nearly spotless license. i play gta4 far more than i might be comfortable admitting he he. i never thought to pull someone out of their car and driving off with it

  • hey the teens were drugged and drunk so DONT BLAME THE GAME!!!

  • BULL thats a freaking excuse according to L1 GAMES 2 of the teens had i believe drug abuse and burgry [or however u spell it

  • I dont know why this is so hard to understand.

    MEDIA HAS INFLUENCE. If they didnt why would companies spend MILLIONS on super bowl commercials?

    Seriously I remember when San Andreas came out and a few of these kids I knew went out and bought it (under aged) and I remember while they were playing it they would act moody, irritable, pissy, angry, and try to act thuggish.

    Kids emulate what they see and play

  • well it's not for fucking kids. So fuck off. TEENs shouldn't be playing it. Too bad no one pulled a gun and shot the little fucks.

  • No charge of Reckless Endangerment! Amazing! Only in the suburbs!

  • hate the playa not the game

  • omg why everyone blames video games?!?! thats stupid

  • It's not the game's fault; it's the stupid kids' faults along with bad parenting. And I don't know what side Associated Press is taking. On the one hand, a previous video (in the related videos called "Crime Still Pays in Grand Theft Auto IV") has short interviews with game journalists and people working at Rockstar, positively hyping the game. On the other hand, the only people they interviewed in this video were anti-GTA IV. I think the Associated Press should have presented both sides.

  • BAHHAHAHAHAH they blamed GTA are you joking

  • @popovicman2 kids wanting to emulate their favorite GTA character? Nah their not joking.

  • I just love how ONE criminal case out of millions of criminals turns out to be influenced by a video game and every single random middle-aged miserable soccar mom comes out of the wood work squeeling for video game sensorship.

    LOL

  • PEOPLE HAVING FUN - STOP IT AT ALL COSTS!

  • Yes just because six fucking idiots copied GTA4, it really gives conservative Christian groups and stupid parents the idea that it will ultimately lead their kids and the children of America to do the same. This is why I hate people like Jack Thompson, they always pin the blame on video games, and the further you take actions to court based on violent video games, the better chance you will lose just like how Thompson got barred from the Florida Supreme Court.

  • stupid bitch at 0:17

  • C'Mon, They Blamin A Game?, Thats The Whole Point The Age Restriction For That Game s 18, Because 18 Y/O'z Have Sence To Know Not To Go Out N Do Dis Shit...

  • if they wanted to be like GTA why didn't they try to fight the cops & get there wanted level to 6 so the ARMY shows up.

  • @gaotu HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • @gaotu hahahahahahahah so true

    but they dont got balls too do it

  • If ur guna buy the game u shuld show ur lisences b4 u buy the game or sumthng

  • finally someone agrees with me. i was thinking of banning video games that cause these things. although banning need for speed is a bad idea the reason people try to outrun the cops is because they either are trying to avoid a ticket or are drunk. besides I don't bring GTA with with to do the things in it in the real world because its just a game.

  • parents these days are so fucking stupid

  • So since there's a war going on with guns and bombs, should they take Call of Duty of the shelves as well?

  • @xunit94 and need for speed is encouraging gamers to drive recklessly and outrun cops.

  • yeah blame the stupid ass tens

  • Teens who were mimicking out of the GTA video game is like a South Park episode.

  • dont blame the video games. blame the parents. they should have beat some sense into them kids.

  • God these kids are so stupid.

    I mean theres a cheat to get the bmw.

    Dont blame the kids blame the parents who BOUGHT the game for them

  • Man fuck that. Kids are stupid dont blame it on GTA, fucking news people need to screw off.

  • please dont target games as faults, they may look violent to parents

    but from my perspective, violent games allow humans to release stress, their violent anger and animal instincts. Now the people who do crime and point their fingers on such games, its not the games that are at fault, its the people who couldn't distinguish between fiction and reality, i dare say if they were treated by therapists, they would be marked as insanity for sure every god damn time.

  • this is absurd the game should be banned

  • @jowiidi first why did parents even buy them this game? second the teens need to know fiction from the real world. every one involved in this are dumb asses in every right of the word.and the cops are fucking lairs just listen to what they said one more time and find that every cop in these situations say the same damn thing

  • maby they couldve gotten away if they used the flying car cheat

  • video games are for doing the stuff you cant do in real life

  • I think its a disgrace that parents cant control their children. Ive played GTA since the first one came out. I dont rob people or steal cars. parents need to pay attention to their kids.

  • The game has nothing to do with it. All humans have an internal desire to beat the hell out of someone from time to time. Some act on it, others dont. I know I would never do something like the thugs on GTA, but I fantasize about it often. To the parents, TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR KID OR GIVE UP YOUR RIGHTS TO THEM.

  • this game has nothing to do with fail parents who cant teach their stupid teens, nay, stupid children the difference between reality and fiction. GTA should have a disclaimer " note this game is NOT for morons, repetition of any such actions depicted in this game results in PROSECUTION by state law." Take this game off the shelves? Why should the entire gaming population suffer because of idiots? Can anyone tell me why?

  • I first played Grand Theft Auto when I was five!!! :D

    My uncle showed me how to play.

    I immediately killed a guy on my first shot!!!!

  • i love bacon...jus saying

  • @SinisterDeath09 I love bacon too and never let the grease go to waste.

  • I Tried this once. I was using cheats though.

  • scumbags!

  • I honestly don't believe this. Don't blame video games for a childs problem.. it takes the blame off the kid

    "mommy... the video game made me do it!" They are old enough now that they know better and know the difference between video games and real life

  • Yeaaa take GTA off the market, that's gonna happen.

  • People need to understand..

    The Game Is About THEM..

    They aren't about the game... FFS...

    Why are parents allowed to drink in front of their kids without being arrested??

    Logic Win.

  • how do they know it was the game that inspired them?

  • The real thing behind this was the Red Hot Chili Pepper's music inspired them to go on a crime spree, because it's way too awesome.

  • @Soulhippo Hey ya red hot chili peppers music can do any thing to your mind after you play the game lol.

  • Don't blame gta cuz First of all gta was meant to be 18+ but I live in Australia its 15+ here and I play it second in gta u can't mug peaple

  • im 15, my parents let me play these games, cause heck, i know better, i even let my little brother watch me play them, hes 4, and he still knows that you should not do this, i even asked him once, "what would you do if i gave you a gun right now", he said "i'd drop it" its cause i teach my brother to be a good person, not like some gang bangers i used to know, you should teach your kids that wat happens in games, stays in games, dont be dumbass blaming games, blame yourself.

  • awsome but remmember keep it in the game

  • don't blame the game

    the idiots didn't know the difference between game and reality, so they did stupid things

    grand theft auto isn't a bad game, they were just idiots

  • I thought they made counterfiets. NOT ALL TEEns do this

  • NOT ALL CHILDREN DO THIS. most kids know better

  • Funny how i went to school these dumbasses

  • Video Games DON'T change your entire like in one second. These kids were already prone to do something like that.

    PLUS, maybe the parents shouldn't have purchased the game for them?

  • God that lady who says it should be taken off the market is annoying.

    If these kids are actually stupid enough to mimic a video game thinking there aren't going to be consequences, how could she really think the GAME is the problem?

    That's like saying we should legally ban sex because it encourages rape.

  • they should have used the weapons cheat the wanted level down cheat and the cars cheats

  • XDDDD

  • don't blame a video game

  • Ugh...

  • How about you just dont sell rated m games to retards.

  • Damn biased asshole reporters. I think I go rape few and call it a "Hot Coffee Mod"

  • YEAH! Let's all do that !

  • O man they should used cheats maybe spawn helicopter or tank

  • Man,DUMBASS kids. It's people like this that should be killed to prevent breeding more stupid people for the future.

  • No don't blame the video game, We all know what's correct and what ISN'T.

  • hahahahaha wtf fuck all these mother fuckers that think video games make people do this hahahaha fucking idiot kids

  • "GTA IV made us did it."

    Then why didn't you try and use the No Wanted Level cheat?

  • at least they learned something from video games. Bur forgot that you DO GET ARRESTED for doing dumb shit

  • What dumbasses,and to think i'm 12 and i don't do that shit

  • Bullshit.

    People have to learn how to stop playing video games and take responsibility for their own actions...

    If those kids were raised right, and were taught right from wrong, then they would still be able to play GTA and not go on a crime spree. Not only that, but two of the kids had prior records, and all of them were drinking before their "violent crime spree."

    Stop blaming a fictional event whenever you fuck up in life.

  • EDIT: Replace 'playing' with 'blaming' is the second sentence.

  • thinking it should be taken off of the shelves is amingly stupid. the game didnt make them do that. EVERYTIME you turn the game on there are warnings saying that "this is fictional" and things like that. HONESTLY, if you are dumb enough to go out and do things like that because of a game, then you are the one who is messed up in the first place. its not the games fault.

  • @THEM0STSHADY exacttry how fucking stupid are those adults. they should know that teens are always gonna make excuses.

  • @THEM0STSHADY it is the games fault it inspires kids to make dumb decisions in life. It's a wonder why this society is the way it is!!

  • @NumNuts626

    You're an IDIOT!!!! it's a parents responsibility to teach their kids right from wrong, not that games. Check out my videos for PROOF that games do not cause violence.

  • @L1Games

    Check out my Video #121 where I rip this story apart.

  • There have been several incidents about people mimicking out of the game it looks like their thinking if they could steal cars, sell drugs & beat up people in the GTA game so they decided to try it out. For me this would be more like a South Park episode.

  • parents are to blame x(

    ..

  • of course video games are always the problem and the parents never do anything wrong. But really WHY THE FUCK DO THEY BLAME THE GAME?

  • God, some people are so dumb. If you wanna blame someone, blame the parents. They shouldn't allow their dumba** kids to play such a violent (and very awesome) game. I'm 19, so I bought this game when I was 18, I play it online and sometimes there are 12 years olds and even 8 year old kids playing this game. The game is Rated M (for MATure) NOT E (for EVERYone).

  • the shit about videogames and violence? this is an example however everyone else is just pissed at people jack thompson would have a fieldday with this

  • hahahah they thought the police in real life was like in the video game

  • cmon its just a fucking video game! the parents of those teens should have a parental "watch" to sse what they play and that. and if they are already adult's, the content of the video game should be a bit edited, and with more security...

  • yeah i agree with u ,, if people r going to gripe about shit like gta , then why dont they gripe about those shows on tv saying well this person rape that girl , killed her , cut her up, and threw her in the lake , that is what people get their thoughts from,, some shows r showing how they did it, giving a complete way to do it,, and in gta ,,,,, u r just having fun.. u know that u cant do this in real life , without geting fucked

  • These kids are idiots to copy GTA 4. I have it and it does not make me want to commit crimes . Stupid kids man...by the way GTA 4 and GTA SA are cool.

  • Damn, you people are retarded...

  • Skanky bitch reporting for Faux News

  • What the fuck are you talking about you fucking retard? Where the fuck does she say she's from Fox News? You are an idiot and the worst kind of human shit. Good day.

  • Not fox dumb shit. Faux is a word. It means fake.

  • Hahaha. Let me guess... You saw someone saying that and you thought it was cool? "Faux News" is something Keith Olbermann says all the time to make fun of Fox News. Oop, looks like you're the dumb-shit now, dumb-shit... Or did you think that you came up with that?

  • Hey moron. Care to read my OTHER comments to the other morons?

  • No. It is quite simple: you used a pop culture reference that you knew nothing about and now you look like an idiot. Ha ha ha. You're dumb.

  • No. Your dumb. Read a dictionary you moron. How old are you? Three?

  • Your both morons.

  • Says the flying boat. Boats don't fly.

  • Nice comeback.

    [/sarcasm]

  • Thank you. :P

  • Hahaha. How funny.

    [/sarcasm]

  • the flying boat sounds very gay and who the FUCK SAYS TEH???

  • Fail. Lots of people do.

  • And who said I referenced that Keith Olbermann?

  • Lol, it's not Fox you fucking communist retard.

  • videogames inspire us? so we are INSPIRED for example to go flying in space because we need to collect stars while we are a plumber with a red hat... yeah this REALLY gives me inspiration

  • "If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music."

  • yeh,,, well i did play it alot, and the only thing that happened to me is the repetive music, in a whole other gender of music.. so what they say on the news is not really... making sense

  • I think you mean genre, not gender

  • sry... i just passed on my exams and im a bit too happy for good grammar

  • actually wasn't that the rave scene?

  • It may have been, but then youd be implying the rave scene evolved from the pacman game...And besides, it was just a quote from marcus bridgestocke

  • man i dont likehow people say blame the game blame yourself man that sucks

  • GTA is a great game, but i dont know why people copy the game, its just a game. they wont be allowed to take this game out of the market, it sells too good

  • roflmao this is so bad its funny these kids arn't coping crap there just plan out bad kids using grand theft auto as a scapegoat to get them out of trouble games don't cause people to do things like that seriously people figure these things out...

  • Ya know what? GTA didn't inspire that, they're blaming the game instead of taking responsibility for their own damn actions.

  • they was bustas strait bustas; rida nigga

  • American Polices look funny :D

  • it sounds like the teens needed something to blame to get the attention off them

  • The sad thing is, parents ALWAYS blame video games... MAYBE THEY SHOULD RETHINK THE WAY THEY RAISE THEIR CHILDREN!!

  • Well stupid mother Fucken kids that blame a video game and not them self's for there actions and try to ban the Fucken game... COMPLETE IDIOTS! it's not the game it's kids that don't want to get in trouble for there actions that they have committed

  • 12,101th view!

  • this is why retards shouldn't be allowed to play GTA.

  • idiots

  • what happens if it was a airplane and then fly and smash it into a building?

  • im 11 and im not stupid to do that shit!

  • Gah, I hate seeing stupid teenagers like this, blaming the video game, for one thing, they are rated M for Mature (17+) for a reason. (17+ in NTSC in case anyone here isn't from North America.)

    I'll admit, I'm under age and I've played the game(s) and I do enjoy them, but I mostly play them for the fun and liberty to fly airplanes, etc.

    Not to go on killing sprees. I'm glad they caught these kids, and hope they suffer life in prison for their crime.

    -Vort

  • sigh not another "games cause crime" video its not the game that causes it its the morons with no common sense who play the games .

  • my fathers generation is so simple minded when it comes to gaming.

  • I have to wonder what the train station conversation must have been like:

    "Hey guys, we're playing irl grand theft auto! Wanna come join us?"

    Also, how the fuck did they manage to steal someone's ciggarettes and yet still allow them to escape? Further, who the fuck would stop in the road for people wielding crowbars and bats?

  • Lol.

    Very interesting statements.

  • @bryguy95 tottaly true 

  • fucking stupid kids! why do people keep giving them the choice of using gta as an excuse? I'm starting to think the question "Was your crime influenced by a video game?" has become mandatory part of the investigation process.

  • i like how they never ask where the parents are. You know . . . the logical question

  • Stupid.

    We should also ban the Dark Knight, because it glorifies cutting people with razorblades and kidnapping japanese businessmen using a plane and a hook.

    Not to mention ban that Barbie horse game, seeing as it gives kids the idea that you won't get hurt if you smack your face at high speed into a log!

  • OH NOH TEH VIDYA GAMES ARE KILLIN ARE KIDS, IM TOO HIGH ON PAINKILLERS TO ACTUALLY WATCH MY KIDS, SO LETS GO BAN EVERYTHING THATS INNAPROPRIATE FOR THEM, AND SHUT OFF THE INTERNET WHILE WERE AT IT TO PROTECT THEM FROM PEDOS

    In case your wondering, the above comment was satire. These retarded children need to meet sweet daddy Darwin, and get there DNA out of the gene pool. permanently

  • "Hey guys, I just cut my dick off in a video game, let's do it in real life."

  • @Berserk0080 haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahah your so funny!

  • Shame. People who think video games encourage violence are A. Wrong and B. Stupid

  • Awesome.

    But they fucked it up; Nico would kill the drivers to prevent them from calling 911.

  • Or he would had simply activate the cheat to remove wanted level.

  • lol

  • im 12 and i dont copy gta

  • @Edy12561 me too

  • You can't mug or have a group of people in GTA 4. Nor can you have a crowbar or a broomstick as a weapon. I don't know what game they were imitating, but it sure as hell wasn't GTA 4...

  • Fallout 3 has the funny weapons.

    GTA IV scenery may have been their angle.

  • hella pro. they got away with so much crap before they got busted.

  • Thats Bull Shit! Mother Fucking Chavs!

  • You don't get American chavs...

  • They thought it will be like in GTA when cops get you they just take 100$ and some guns. They were wrong..

  • oh shit, i guess im going to steal a car since i played it.

  • That woman in the blonde hair is an idiot, it shouldnt be taken off the market, people should step up and realize there is a reason there is a little letter on every box. "M" Stands for """"MATURE"""" Mature meaning that they can handle the conents of a game, and remain only a game

  • RASE YOUR DAMN KIDS! thats why their so stupid

  • fags

  • quote from video "I think it should be taken off the market, I mean it encourages kids to do these things?" gta is one of the best videogame series ever created and it doesn't encourage kids at all. games don't make people do stupid things stupid people do.

  • LOL

    im gonna jump out of cars because i wanna be like niko bellic XP
