Comments on: Sony sued: Manhunt murder http://www.p2pnet.net/story/2070 p2pnet.net - reader powered Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:40:57 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Reader's Write http://www.p2pnet.net/story/2070/comment-page-1#comment-25461 Reader's Write Thu, 01 Dec 2005 04:17:06 +0000 #comment-25461 While I do mourn for the Pakeerah family's loss, I don't think they deserve one cent off of Sony. When, may I ask, did Le Blanc confess to Manhunt 'obsessing' him (as it was put)? Also, if it did affect him, how did he or the Pakeerah's son get a copy? Where were their parents? If they cared to prevent something like this, they would monitor what their son played and who their son befriended.

Actually, you would be a completely different person if you never played video games or watched TV as a kid. Subconciously you may have a very "videogamised" view of the world and not even know it. Do not think humans are completely immune from suggestion from the media. Some people are susceptable to suggestion through the media.

This is really fucking sad since I can't see the parents not being aware of it when the police were - in other words the parents of a murdered child are now trying to cash in by misleading both (potentially) the courts and the public.

Feel sorry for sony (sorta) for being turned into a scape goat for a larger social issue. It's not the first time, Steven King has been blamed all because a person read a book or two of his and went out and harmed someone; dungeons and dragons was blamed for something or other (the specifics escape me right now) list goes on. If anything these games and other forms of entertainment highlights a larger social issue where violence has become more tolerable. Why arent they suing the parents of the kid who commited the crime? Why not put blame where it truely belongs; with the person(s) who raised them? ugh not again. when will people learn? books, games, movies, other forms of “entertainment” don’t compell a person to do harm.
