An Ohio teenager stands accused of killing his mother and injuring his father because he was not allowed to play Halo 3. The trial, on charges of murder and attempted murder, opened this week in the town of Elyria, Ohio.
After reading a few other articles on this kid, I’ve gotta laugh. What’s really fucked up is he tried putting the gun in his dad’s hand. Murder/suicide over a fucking game? what a fucking waste.
Damn’t… I forgot to add the points… it’s worth about 5g I think at least lol. And yeah I never thought about it.. but a Teamkill achievement would have been much funnier
*Facepalm* More fuel for the “video games make kids violent” bullshit. No one looks deeper and sees the truth: A kid who’d kill his parents because he couldn’t play a video game has issues that go FAR deeper than the video game. Either he was psychologically unstable from the start or his parents simply never spent enough time with him to teach him some basics such as “violence = bad” and “fantasy =/= reality”
And the way I look at it. The hundreds of millions of people who play video games at all, divided by the number of children 16, and under that play games, how many acts of violence are directly attributable to the games themselves?
What, maybe 6 cases? Say at most 20, if you stretch it? Over 20 years of modern video gaming?
Some kid up here ran away from home because his dad took his xbox away. So the ‘community’ (see: old farts who get scared trying to work a toaster) claimed he had obviously met someone online and had been kidnapped. Awareness was promptly raised and the easy answer of that newfangled technology stuff was blamed. Microsoft even gave over all info related to the kids account.
Turns out he just walked out into the forest because he was mad at his parents and he froze to death.
How come nobody sees that if he’d had his xbox he would still be alive. Videogames don’t cause deaths. They save lives.
leathal injection is potassium cloride, a few grams in liquid into the bloodstream = death. Its only a matter of time before kids find they can buy it in a store as a “salt substitute” for FAT or high blood preasure people… makes ya think huh?…and video game are dangerous..

Airplanes have higher death rates.
