I blame Video Games for this attack

Not for the Navy Yard shooting, of course. That would be silly. But this bit of mayhem does seem to involve violent video games. That said... if you're already out on the street hitting people with bricks, the game seems superfluous.

Grand Theft Auto fan is stabbed, hit with a brick and robbed after queuing up at midnight to buy newly released computer game

A 23-year-old man was hit with a brick, stabbed and robbed of the newly released Grand Theft Auto computer game after queuing up to buy it at a London supermarket.

The man was attacked as he walked home from the Asda store in Colindale, north London, shortly after buying a copy of the game following its midnight release.

He is said to be in a stable condition in hospital following the incident which happened at around 1.20am.

...The victim had joined hundreds of others across the country queuing to be one of the first to get their hands on the fifth version of the notoriously violent video game.

1. Did he get carjacked too?

2. I blame SSRI drugs and guns

NOT a good mixture.

3. 5 people killed per day with knives, over 1 million emergency room visits a year due to knives

And those are accidents, does not include intentional stabbings

We can prevent such things if we have better knife control in the US. Hell, many kids take knives with them when fishing (who needs to fish anyway? We can have big corporations get food for us, much safer - not to mention people drown every year while trying to catch fish).

Better, safer, knives - Have you seen how some of those blades LOOK? And why do we pimp knives on TV, always wanting the sharpest, sexiest knife. It is a sick culture. We should limit people to butter knives and if you a need something sharper you have to get a permit or have a certified government employee come to your house and cut things for you.

4. Development of that game cost more than every blockbuster movie save one. Will take in >$1 Billion.

Crime pays.
