Found in the postscript to today's story about the 27-year sentence for 270 Sniper Charles McCoy:
Hooray! Let the witchhunt begin! Of course it was the video games, don't you see? There's no way that it could have been the result of McCoy's admitted failure to take prescribed medication for his long-diagnosed mental health problems, or his (dare I say it) family's reluctance/failure to keep, y'know, tabs on their mentally troubled son who had bought guns the year before. No, clearly, the guys who were coding up MAX PAYNE at Rockstar back in 2002 and 2003 should have KNOWN that those particular algorithims would someday force a troubled young man to fire a gun off of an overpass, striking and killing a woman riding in a passing car! Rockstar's nefarious plan to destroy American civilization is public knowledge, after all, since Senator Clinton's stunning revelation that kids could find out about sex from video games they shouldn't have been able to buy without parental consent in the first place! It's so clear! Rockstar Hates America! To the ramparts! Boil the oil! Bring the pitchforks! Litigate! Litigate, I say! ... God, I hate lawyers. [/irony]
