Game Ordinance Overturned
The Indianapolis Star is reporting that the video game ordinance in Indiana has been overturned (thanks /.). This ordinance banned children playing violent video games in arcades and stores (story). Now the court has ruled that this can't be enforced. It might now go to the Supreme Court
Meanwhile, Salon has a story about Attorney General John Ashcroft who is once again blaming video games and the rest of the entertainment industry for school shootings. Thanks t0m.The unanimous decision by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals could pave the way for a U.S. Supreme Court review of the arcade ordinance, the first of its kind in the nation.
Mayor Bart Peterson said it was too soon to decide how the city would approach the ruling, but that it would be fought in court on some level.
"It would be a shame to quit at this point without pressing this on to a final decision," Peterson said.
