Editors Note
There�s
been a lot of press lately about 19-year-old high school student Polwat Chinno,
who robbed and murdered cab driver Kuan Pohkang. After Polwat was caught by
police, he blamed his actions on the video game Grand Theft Auto. I
suppose I�d buy the idea that the game was responsible if the disc or cartridge
or computer or whatever had gone out and murdered Kuan.
