well look what the UK's government decided to blame the riots on

As I myself am too frustrated to respond in any intelligent manner, I will just quote what someone said in the comments, and very much reflect my opinions.

"Looking at the article, I didn't see any sources for this 'research'. Along with that, she doesn't name any particular games, and the way she describes them as 'where points are given for burning, shooting and killing' tells us she is woefully ignorant of what modern games are like. It's another piece that compiles all the negative stereotypes about video games into a scare piece to frighten parents. Just as parents screen what movies, television, music and books their children consume, they must also do the same for video games. Learn about the rating systems. PEGI in the UK, and ESRB for the US. These ratings are there for a reason. Many retailers also refuse to sell games with a certain rating to children under a certain age. I urge everybody to read between the lines on this one."
