God, I’m coming tonight tonight, asking you to give me the power you gave Jamie Foxx when he finished. Doug Williams’ entire career. Apparently, I woke up today in 2006 because a series of recent cars drove an Illinois state lawmaker to ask Grand Theft Auto to be forbidden.
According to ABC 7Democratic State Representative Marcus Evans was found guilty of these piracies do not refer to growing inequity, the historical lack of jobs and industry in predominantly black communities, or even the economic recession that resulted from the pandemic.
Not. It’s the fault of a franchise that hasn’t even seen a new entry in almost 8 years.
Yes, that makes sense.
“Grand Theft Auto and other violent video games enter the minds of our young people and perpetuate the normalcy of car piracy, “Evans told ABC 7.” Carjacking is not normal and piracy must stop. “
G / O Media may receive a commission
First of all, fuck: Crow, you’re late. Grand Theft Auto V is the best – selling game of the last decade, with a estimated at 130 million copies in the houses of people all over the country. You don’t stop anyone from playing this game that they don’t already have.
Second damn it all: Tell me Marcus, how are you going to ban the game? You know what, let me entertain this notion of stupidity for a second. Say they’re successful and take the game off the shelves of Illinois stores. What will you do about digital sales?
Are you telling me that Illinois is willing to spend time, money and technical knowledge to block PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Epic Games and the Rockstar showcase? I worked for the state government and I know damn well those donkeys that use Windows XP are not built for this life.
Third, everyone’s misfortune: don’t you have more important things to do? We are in the middle of a pandemic, with a vaccine launch that has been garbage. Even when this is finally over, we will have an economic and quite probable psychological consequence that we will have to address.
A better use of Evans’ time would be to create recovery plans to ensure that the city of Chicago is not left out of the process or to address those basic conditions that lead to people being desperate enough to commit crimes.
Instead, he stops with some reheated things about some shit he clearly doesn’t know anything about. It’s stupid, a waste of time for everyone, and as a black man, Evans should know right now.
So, in conclusion, someone please come and take my hand.
