“The long war between the Burger Bar Boys and the Johnson Crew has its origins in a childish dispute between two friends.
Two black youths argued in the early 1990’s about who had won a violent computer game – Streetfighter, which features fights between muscular characters.
When words failed to settle the argument, the violence spilled over into real life.”
So is this, shock horror, the Daily Mail blaming games for turning these people into gun-crazed gangs? Yep.
Reminds me of my ‘You’ve Been Blamed’ topic.

I wish I had such a huge resistance, I've left lots of squids, turtles/tortoises and plants dieing from too much Mario. Damn you NINTENDO!!!!!
And all this because of an incident related, though not directly related to games.
Thanks to The Getaway, I had an overwhelming urge to hit him over the head with his ladder, nick his van, and go and break someone out of the local police station.
Fortunately, despite the monster that I have so obviously become after 23 years of playing videogames (must be true, the papers say so) I somehow managed to resist the urge, and went to buy a coffee instead.
That BT engineer will never know how lucky he is to be going home to his family tonight.
The Daily Mail is so gay.
What the hell are you on about???
Erm. Bit of a generalisation there. Have you seen Dhalsim?
