What is this world coming too. It's just a god damn game!!

May the Mom rest in peace.

 

Thats just pathetic. Killing for some idiocy like that... kids these days need to get a life.

 

video game critics would love this and heap more blame on video game violence. "sigh" what is this world coming to ~

 

lol i should post my 4k word long essay about this...

it's the kid's mental problems, not the game lol

the kid has a fucked up mind and is obsessed

 

Wasn't this posted a few months ago?

 

Well, we don't need to heap "more" blame on video game violence; just the amount that it's due is enough. -noclue.

Personally, I would like to see a lot of these FPS loving kids taken for a tour in Iraq. No sense in wasting such good combat skill training simulations. As a matter of fact, even the US Army thinks so...

As for the kid, I hope he draws a life sentence. -rolleyes

 

da guy killed his mum n hurt his dad 4 a stupid game he is nuts!!!!

 

That one a couple months ago was different. He ran away from home when the parents took away his xbox.

 

LMAO! wow... this is some story.. parents really need to monitor how much their kids play =/

 

its too easy to get guns in the US... blame the game, blame the kids n blame the american government for allowing guns...
all these things together is a big mess

 

No.

Yes.

Yes, but very difficult to actually implement.

 

This kid should be put in a place that had nothing but walls. What a waste to maintain him.

 

Stupid game, kid, and governmental regulations .. all plays a role in the tragedy.

 

just give the kid life sentence
morons that kill there parents for a game, should not coexist with society

 

^ he's a kid, he doesn't know jack shit from right and wrong. he's gotta go through juvie to get proper rehabilitation.

 

i swear this was posted b4.... but yeah pretty messed up kid....

 

HE is "17" years old ... not a kid exactly. If he was under 10 or something, then it's a different situation. Personally, I think this kid is so disturbed that it's best to just let him go - lock up for life. Rehabilitation ain't gonna help ... all that do is to drug him and God knows one day, he misses his dose and the unthinkable can happen all over again.

 

oh shit i missed the 17 part lol

ok ok adult case it should be

 

u serious over a game damn i would never do that lolz...

 

LOL... No, it wasn't over a "game" per se, but an addictive habit. Had this kid been arrested for killing his parents over something like, say... a cocaine habit, no one would be surprised. It only becomes news worthy because the object of his habit happens to be a video game. He was denied access to his drug of choice so he took vengeance upon those that impeded him. :stickpoke:

However, even if he had gotten away with murder, who is going to pay for the electricity needed to run the game? IMHO, a severe deficit in forethought. While video games do condition and teach one how to seek, engage and kill enemy, they rarely ever teach players to think of consequences before acting. -what?
