14-Year Old Kills Father for Taking Keyboard Away

[WorldCritic]

And here we go again.

The scary thing about this is that it wasn't an immediate reaction. He consciously decided he wanted to kill his father. Now he's going to go to fucking gaol.

Fucking insane.

I guess in non-soviet Russia, kids kill their father over something stupid? Lord, this is a disturbing story.

 

[Nerdygamer89]

under Russian law he is old enough to be charged with murder.

Good for them. In the U.S. they would have started pumping various pharmaceuticals into this kid trying to "rehabilitate" him, then let him go so he could go off his meds and do it again. We've become such a nanny state.

And here I thought the homewrecker needed a buff...

You sir, are a god of awesome.

 

[Marsell]

I say we take no resposability for this kids actions oh wait, we already do that
Kids a psyco

 

[ssgt splatter]

Jesus fucking christ! What the hell?!?! I'm glad I don't live in Russia.

 

[axnxgxixe]

at least it sounds like (on the surface) they aren't directly blaming videogames-I'm betting the kid must have some severe problem to begin with.

Either way, damn that's crazy.

Give me MAH COOKIE!!!

Neil Gaiman's masterpiece American Gods.

Spoiler: For You Good Sirs

now i want a damn cookie.


oh and obviously he has mental problems... considering he had a fully functional MOUSE... but freaked out when the keyboard was taken away...

 

[Dastardly]

I think it's pretty obvious, given the circumstances, that the kid was playing the original Donkey Kong.

 

[brodie21]

this is a story of how some people shouldnt even make it to court

 

[Blimey]

In Soviet Russia, child bludgeons you.

 

[Grimlock Fett]

This is crazy. Unfortunately, I'm sure if CNN or other parental groups get a hold of it, it will become another story of how "violent video games are ruining our kids" rather than seeing it for what it is: a kid with severe emotional and rage issues finally acts out, and in the worst way.

In soviet Russia, Game plays you!
Also Did you read the other story about the kid banhammered for 8000 years?
In soviet Russia, Child Banhammers admin!
But it is shocking and I'm appalled!!

 

[Turnage]

After a while those blue shells just get to ya

 

[crystalsnow]

What the fuck is with kids killing their parents for something video game related lately. This is not good press for gamers.

 

[nick n stuff]

what is wrong with the world? people are fucked.

My only comment is: A 14 year old boy manage to hit his dad with a sledgehammer TWICE? Without any retaliation by the father or the mother. I mean, a sledgehammer's heavy. And I don't think a 14 year old boy that spent a week doing nothing but play video games is very strong.

I would add grievances for the family and shocked comments about how our world is going to hell, but these things simply happen way too often for me to be shocked by these things anymore.

That last sentence worries me deeply...

Also, I told this story to a few friends, they all said the kid should get help then be released with no jail time... Are you fucking serious? A kid kills his dad, the man who gave him life, with a SLEDGEHAMMER because he took his keyboard away, and you think you should get special attention and be treated nicely like he's retarded or experienced somethin extremly traumatic like the slaughtering of your whole family happenin right before your eyes? Uh-uh, noooooo way, give that kid the chair. The only part of this story that made me happy was that he was tried as an adult, I mean, if he were here in America, they'd try him as an adult, but they'd give him like 40 years instead of life, cause he's a kid. That's no damn excuse for something like this.

Would your opinion change if you learned that the boy had been abused by his father?

I'm not saying he was, I'm just curious if the people who want the death penalty for this 14 year old boy (!) without really knowing anything about his past or present situation, really understands the seriousness of what you are talking about.

It would change, but not much.
