"GTA inspired London riots", paper claims
And while Codemasters’ F1 series hasn’t been credited for the success of Sebastian Vettel and I’ve not yet read any stories thanking Populous for inspiring God himself, some people have seemingly linked Rockstar’s title to the tragic events.
Tonight’s copy of the London Evening Standard could claim that the London riots seen in the past 48 hours were “inspired” by famous games series Grand Theft Auto, MCV can reveal.
Two people – one a police officer in Tottenham and the other an Enfield resident – told reporters that they believed the popular game series was the catalyst behind the breakdown of law and order.
A member of the Evening Standard news team confirmed that at the time of speaking, the GTA quotes were to be included in the article. However, the source would not rule out the possibility of alternations being made before the paper hits presses.

Well the people making these allegations usually have no disobedience towards government as the decisions the government make don't affect them much.
People will throw rocks if rocks are thrown at them.
Simple ideology and yet the most truthful.

People rioted before videos games were even around. Now, according to the media, riots only happen because of video games.
