14-Year Old Kills Father for Taking Keyboard Away

[Ben Legend]

Oh here we go again, blaming games.

 

[The Thief]

That must have been a great game he was playing, there. Anybody know what it was?

I'm not worried about this event giving video games a bad rep, but I do foresee a ban on sledgehammers comin'. Those things are dangerous in the wrong hands and it's about time we take action! Ban hammers!

Hope he enjoys rotting in jail. Little prick.

Not to sound like an insensitive jerk, but we're obviously not dealing with a mastermind here. I can recall having the power cable for my PC being taken away once. I waited for my mom to leave the house and just grabbed the spare I had in my closet. Then I'd just turn off my computer when she got home.

To kill someone over a keyboard? I would be willing to bet that this kid has some issues that would result in this way of thinking.

The way how he calmly returned to his computer after bludgeoning his dad to death shows you his mental stability. This was not a problem of violent video games gone wrong (as media will always state) but rather of mental disability.

And was I the only one who thought of the angry German kid video?

let's just hope the media doesn't jump all over this and claim the game itself made the kid kill him.

Why does video game insanity always come from China or Russia?

 

[rembrandtqeinstein]

What choice did he have? The guild was raiding!

 

[theodrath]

In conclusion, dont take the keyboard/game pad w/e away from a nerd kid?

srsly who is guilty here ...
I just cant believe such thing happened, Im pretty sure ,that kid got so much psychological problems ,and serious issues about his relationships in society(If he has ever been any of it).

In soviet russia, crysis kills you! Not your computer, because it has such... fuck it, never mind.

That kid probably didn't mean to kill him, but now his whole life is ruined, I feel bad for him.

 

[oppp7]

Here's hoping for the death penalty.

 

[Vinticore]

In soviet russia, keyboa-... What? Too soon? Yeeeaaah.

 

[Sovvolf]

JESUS SHIT DID YOU JUST HEAR THAT NOISE!!!????.... I just heard it like a wolves howl, I think it was Jack Thompson screaming "I WAS RIGHT!!!". Wow... that guy can scream.

Though I don't think video games are to blame here... the kid definitely had some screws missing. I mean he calmly sneaked into his parents bedroom, the beat his father to death with a jackhammer... took the keyboard then calmly walked over to his computer and started playing as if nothing had happened... That spells psychopath to me... he'll probably be sent to the looney bin.

 

[Sheepy]

And this is why I don't understand what is going on in kids' minds nowadays. God, that gave me chills.

What is he Czernobog reincarnate? (cookie for spotting the reference).

It should be noted that Gaiman's gods don't reincarnate. They diverge based upon local beliefs.

I hope he was playing 'Putt Putt goes to the Moon' o

I used to love that game =)

in other news. meh sleep deprivation was probably a key factor. and also wonder what the kid was playing
