A family visited a rest stop that was less than an hour away from Newtown, CT(where the Sandy Hook shooting stook place). They witnessed an adolescent playing single player shooter style game. The family filed a complaint to the government of Massachusetts which also runs the rest stop. The government reacted promptly and removed all "unsuitable" games from their rest stops. Do you feel that the family overreacted?
Yes, these games need to be eliminated completely. They have a negative influence on kids and encourages them to be violent.
