Kids hang kitten with videogame controller, sheriff accuses GTA of rape

Okay, so you’ve got two dumbass kids were playing Grand Theft Auto, and got the bright idea to throw stones at a kitten, and then hung it with a video game controller in a tree. The local sheriff now claims that GTA lets your rape women.

Here’s what DToid has to say:

The two six-year-olds were at East Mesa trailer park (obviously it was a trailer park), presumably totally unattended by their parents. A neighbor found the dead cat, allegedly hanging from a tree by the wire of a controller. After Deputies had been alerted, the two boys apparently admitted to stoning and hoisting it up with the wire.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio came in with the intelligent, measured and totally not bullsh*t response: “This game allows players to kill cops and rape women. It’s little wonder why they perpetrated such violence against that little animal.”

The parents so far have recieved no blame for this, and the only mention of the parents at all in this whole incident was how they would have to pay for counseling for the kids if it is required. The boys are also too young to be charged with animal cruelty, nd child protection services declined to help because the case is “outside the normal criteria.”
