16 year old gets playstation taken away, Kills mom with claw hammer (chair leg?)

[Eri]

16-Year-Old Confesses To Killing Mom Over PlayStationPhiladelphia teenager Kendall Anderson confessed in court to murdering his sleeping mother after she confiscated his PlayStation. And if you don't like crime-related video games stories with terrible, sickening endings, don't go any further. This one is perhaps the worst.

Anderson's confession, read in court by Philadelphia police homicide detective Thorsten Lucke, admits to attacking his mother, Rashida, with a claw hammer, attempting to cremate her in the kitchen oven and ultimately beating her to death with a chair leg. He reported her missing to police the next day, then confessed to Philadelphia police.

Kendall Anderson added to his confession: "If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom . . . she was the only person who cared for me," reports Philadelphia's Inquirer.

Stupid, stupid kids...

Fuuuck...

Wow. I feel both enraged at and sorry for him at the same time.

[sub]Also, can we leave the imminent 'games don't cause violence waaah' comments out of this thread please?[/sub]

 

[Radeonx]

Well, that sucks.
We should probably keep him away from Bulletstorm, though. We don't want him turning into a murderer and a rapist.

 

[Random Fella]

Wow some kids are just retarded...

 

[-Drifter-]

What... the... fuuuuuuuck???? I'm at a loss for words.

 

[Lazzi]

This isnt going to bode well...

 

[King Crab]

I wonder what game he was playing.

I love your posts, keep 'em coming.

OT: Blame the kids anger/mental issues, not the games.

Anyone else reminded of this:


Any opportunity for a Beefheat reference.

fuck the playstation, man, the kid was a walking timebomb

[sub]shall I say, a bob-omb? OH THE WITTYNESS[/sub]

my point still stands, the kid was a fucking psycho, taking away the playstation was not what angered him and made him kill his mother, it was just the, uh, "give me a reason" thing

like a trigger or something like that =P

 

[DasDestroyer]

And sadly there are people like that in the gene pool...

 

[Thunderhorse31]

Blame Sony.

Okay, not really. I'm just sickened/saddened and don't really know what to say.

 

[Shadowtek]

someone clearly DIDNT get enough beatings as a small child.

 

[MysticToast]

All that for a 17 year old console?

 

[emeraldrafael]

Hunh... I could make a Philly joke (being from Pittsburgh), but it seems in extremely bad taste.

So I'll say this. I can wonder what went through his head when he htought about this. Also, this is why we need to hit our kids. If they dont fespect (fear-respect) you, this is what happens.

 

[Diligent]

HOO-LEE-SHIT.
I'm disturbed and fascinated by the break with reality this kid must have had. Did he think murdering his mom would get his Playstation back faster? I'm seeing a little devil on his shoulder going "It's ok kid, they've got all the Playtations you want in prison."

 

[dbmountain]

i'm sure the kid had issues to begin with prior to the whole "omg my playstation is gone now you will die" debacle

 

[Macgyvercas]

I wonder what game he was playing.

It would be really ironic if he was playing the most nonviolent game imaginable.
