After writing an article full of lies, deliberately upsetting the relative of a murder victim, and generally ruining the name of his entire industry, you'd think the man responsible for the tasteless Grand Theft Auto: Northumbria story would be remorseful. He was not.
Faux journalist and twat Jerry Lawton is the man responsible for vomiting up a Daily Star article that falsely claimed Rockstar was planning to make a GTA game based on real-life murderer Raoul Moat. On his Facebook page, the man expressed surprise and contempt for anybody who thought that what he did was reprehensible, making sure to betray his own low opinion of gamers in the process.
"Baffled by the fury of adult gamers," writes Lawton. "These are grown (?!?) men who sit around all day playing computer games with one another who've today chosen to enter the real world just long enough to complain about my story slamming a Raoul Moat version of Grand Theft Auto! You would think I'd denied the Holocaust!!! Think I'll challenge them to a virtual reality duel....stab....I win!!!"
Nice to see that Lawton conveniently left out the bit where he used a poorly doctored image that any idiot could have ascertained was fake, the bit where he used a 69-year-old grieving grandmother for his own ends, and the bit where he cobbled together a shitty little article full of lies that got taken down because it was a load of crap. Hilarious that he references the "real world" when his article was based in total fantasy to begin with. Maybe Lawton's the one who needs to step away from his computer and face reality.
You are baffled, Lawton, because people in the British shitrag press are rarely held accountable for their irresponsible writing. This is what it feels like to be exposed as a terrible, sleazy, dreadful, parasitic little man who writes for The Daily Star. That fact you don't even have the dignity or class to apologize for being such a disingenuous writer is what should be baffling you, mate.
Stab ... I win!

BUT THAT MAN MOLESTS KIDS WITH THAT FACIAL HAIR AND BEER.
I HAVE PROOF AND STUFF
What I can't accept is that he's a fucking journalist that either can't do the most basic of research or is so concerned with reaching a quota that he doesn't bother.
It's your job, do it well or don't bother.
Is it possible for Rockstar to sue because of this?
This Lawton guy's a scumbag if I've ever seen one. Even the look on his face in that picture screams, "LOOK AT HOW MUCH OF A DOUCHEBAG I AM!"
Although against the Daily Star that is a pretty easy thing to achieve.
I disagree. Jim posts his opinions on things and you disagree with them. This lecherous scumbag posted outright lies, how are they even remotely comparable?

Put a sock in it for once, would you?
Basically, I'm still morally up on this exchange.
I'd make another sarcastic remark about how proud his mother must be, but it's fairly obvious that he simply congealed in a pile of used condoms at the local dump.
Or the Daily Mail. Totally nothing to do with this, but it's a shit paper too.
@Tom Davey: I found that proof you were talking about.

"Basically, I'm still morally up on this exchange."
The first, and only time Jim will be able to say that? xD
Seriously though, those inept fucks had better print a retraction and apology, especially to the grandmother.
the girl had a DS....thats a games console...that plays video games!!
also, his 'anti-ps3' fanboy articles and his 'blatantly better' series are full of satire, aimed to get a response like yours while being obviously sarcastic so the people can see how retarded some people such as yourself are
I think most people have learned to ignore you.
