Description

[quote] The Reverend Richard Patrick of Virginia's Abyssinia Baptist church wants to organise a ritual burning of "destructive" games, reports The Daily Press.

The 42-year-old, who has worked in the church for the past six years, believes that violent games and "hate-filled gangster rap music" are turning killing into a pastime for bored kids. Last year, the pastor held prayer marches, antiviolence rallies, and programs to help youngsters find jobs.

This year, he thinks there's a place for burning the aforementioned CDs and games. Patrick told the newspaper that he got the idea from a gun-buyback scheme, which last year netted 359 guns that were then destroyed.

Patrick said, "We are considering having something similar to a rally where parents and children can bring CDs and video games that they consider are destructive to the mind-set of our youth and have a burning, just like they had the gun buyback last year." [/quote]
