50+ felonies for 6 cars being destroyed is a little over the top. These kids are stupid for admitting to it and even more dumb for blaming GTA. If these kids can't even handle their video games, I'm sure they can't handle their liquor. By the way, these kids are 15 and 16, which means they shouldn't have even been playing the game. Probably some poor parenting to blame on that, but I don't know for sure.
yeah they should just let them go. Nevermind that the houses could have caught fire and killed the people sleeping in them. No biggie right?
