Grand Theft Auto Kills Three, Steals Car
(Page 1 of 4 )
In a world where you can sue McDonalds for making you fat, you can sue the makers of Grand Theft Auto for training someone to be a professional killer. The makers and marketers of Grand Theft Auto are being sued in civil court over the murder of three men in the town of Fayette, Alabama.
Eighteen-year-old Devin Moore gunned down these men, two of which were police officers and the third being a 911 dispatcher.
According to Attorney Jack Thompson, an anti-gaming violence advocate, Grand Theft Auto “trained” Devin Moore to do what he did. Grand Theft Auto is a “Murder Simulator.”
Let’s recap what happened on June 7th 2003 that led to this crime being committed.
Devin Moore was brought into the police station that day on suspicion of stealing a car. He had no criminal history and was supposedly cooperative as Officer Arnold Strickland booked him inside the Fayette police station.
According to Moore’s own statement, he lunged at Officer Strickland, grabbing his .40 caliber Glock automatic and shot twice, with one shot hitting the officer’s head. Officer James Crump responded to the shots and met Moore in the hallway. Moore fired three shots, one hitting the head.
Moore made his way down the hallway toward the door of the emergency dispatcher. He turned and fired five shots into Ace Mealer, the 911 dispatcher. For the third straight time, Devin Moore, a person with no criminal history, was able to land a head shot.
He left the station by stealing a police cruiser.
