After Sean Bell verdict, ‘GTA (videogame) lets them do the stuff they can’t do in real life’

By Alvin Chang

This post from Kotaku talks to residents in New York City about Grand Theft Auto IV, a video game where the gameplay allows users to go around “Liberty City” (an NYC knock-off) and do whatever they feel — punch, shoot, steal, run, buy a hooker, etc.

But an interesting part of this story shows that some residents are using this game to express anger they can’t do in real life, especially after the Sean Bell not guilty verdict.
