The perverse bright side is this wasn’t another black-on-white hate murder.
Poor Grandmother...made it to 87 only to be killed by your own grandson. At least it was mercifully instantaneous.
We didn’t allow GTA in our house...in fact, no video game at all until our youngest was 18 and going away to college.
When my youngest grandson is visiting one of the things he looks forward to doing is spending time with the XBox. He has every auto racing game ever made and can sit for hours choosing, tinkering with and redesigning one car. Maybe one lap around the track or road course to see how it performs and then back to the tinker stage again. He has learned a lot about wind shear, aerodynamic design and application of mathematical information in the process.
He knows everything there is to know about every car made and wants to go to Europe and design cars after college. We do have one other game - Tetris - which he calls the Grandma game. Did talk him into playing once but never again.
We have guns in the house but no games with guns nor would I allow any either.
