Clearly he had other problems. I suppose what irritates us is that people bring up the Playstation as a motive for murder, i highly doubt it was the ACTUAL motive. Admittedly it seems to have been the final spark that made him snap, but we all know that it's a big difference between what makes a person snap and the reasons for them being ready to snap.

Wow. I feel both enraged at and sorry for him at the same time.
I don't feel sorry for him. He deserves whatever punishment the law decides upon for his complete disregard for human life - let alone the life of his mother over something as petty as having his PlayStation confiscated.

Right now I am just laughing at all people who are saying "He should have been beaten as a kid!"
Because obviously beating a person who obviously has some psychological problems is going to solve it. Why do people assume that beating kids can solve everything. Pretty much everybody nowadays isn't beaten, it's only the small minority that cause problems.

Also the kid obviously didn't love his mum if he could kill her with a chair leg, then try to cremate her. That statement doesn't make sense...

why the fuck does everyone feel bad for the kid, feel bad for the mother, she was still alive whilst he was trying to fucking cremate her in the oven.

and she got all this whilst trying to discipline her child without it being illegal.

i hope that kid gets ass raped in prison every day for the rest of his good for nothing life, little ****.

Something was wrong with this kid well before his mother took his Playstation away. I hope they do a full psychoanalysis on him and find out what his mental problem is. He's calculated enough to wait for her to fall asleep, tries to kill her once, tries to burn her remains, then finishes the job by beating her to death... But then later comes to his senses and feels regret. Wow.

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...
You'd think they'd do psychiatric assessments on kids like this.

Like video game attackers didn't need more ammo to throw at us.

Plus if I had the choice I wouldn't have done it again? Good luck with time travel mate.

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.
exactly.
though we shouldn't beat them to the point where they become cowards that die after three days of being on their own.
gotta have a just system, in order for it to work right.

and besides, killers kill.
it's what they do.
if the playstation was never taken away, or if he never had one at all, he probably would have killed (most likely a different person and when he was older) for a different reason.

i tried to kill a guy when i was in 3rd grade.
but i didn't have a video game system at the time.
