A video game distributor in Thailand has decided to pull Grand Theft Auto games from shelves after an 18 year old man killed a taxi driver in an attempt to recreate game play in real life. “He said he wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game,” chief police investigator Veeravit Pipattanasak told Reuters. The assailant was caught trying to steer the taxi cab backwards out of a Bangkok street with the severely wounded driver in the back seat. The victim, a 54-year-old man, was apparently chosen by the high school student because of his age.
