This is absolutely disgusting and grotesque. The child obviously was suffering some sort of psychological maniacy. The taking away of the Playstation merely acted as a triggering mechanism, but knowing the incompetency of some people I can see this case being used against video games very easily without any evidence to support either side; just the "Oh, the kid had an addiction for video games, they made him kill his mother, case closed". Only utter twits would accept this without a second thought just because the people who say this call themselves "Experts".

But what am I? I'm an Expert!

No I'm not, but I do study psychology (to a degree) and I do look at facts and studies instead of theories. :p

Well Im not sure how to feel.I want someone to kill this kid in a painful way. Im just waiting for fox to prey on this story by hiring a so called expert and they will say"Oh yeah well the videogames obviously make him do it". Im gonna actually watch FOX too see if they go over the story. Lets hope this story doesnt make it on the news

I gotta go hug my mom now.....

This could have happened with his favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figure, but the fact that is was a Playstation will turn this into another argument about games and their effects on children.

Seriously what is it with kids today? Both me and a friend of mine have a younger brother who makes threats with knives and walks out of home every other day over nothing. They just don't seem to understand that actions have consequences and you can't take what you do back.

This story really made me feel bad. It was like a legit visceral shock to think of what happened between that kid and his mom. Holy shit...

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]
I see what you did there!

Well there's probably some kind of massive detail like he's crazy or something. I feel sorry for the Mum, or do I? The Mum probably knew that his son was fucked up. Or did she????

This story reminds me why I'm such a callus dick to the world. If I allowed myself to care, I would have long ago commited suicide.

Oh good god, I couldn't even fathom killing my mother over something like that; hell I can't fathom killing my mother. That kid has issues from the start and losing the Playstaion was just pulling the trigger to an overly loaded gun.

But wow, that kid needs help and needs to be put away. I'm sorry but this... this sickens me to no end.

I feel the same way you do. I am enraged that this is linked to video games because it gives that stupid "psychologist" shit she needs and I feel bad because he really probably didn't know what he was doing.

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."

Sorry, don't know how to box this, my noob.

Wo0t! Well said. The sad thing is he likely DOES suffer from an undiagnosed or budding mental illness and now has no mommy. The system will fuck him hard - almost as hard as they'll try to blame video games and not SHIT PARENTING.

i'm sure the kid had issues to begin with prior to the whole "omg my playstation is gone now you will die" debacle
I certainly hope so. The last thing we need is anything lending credence to the "violent video games cause violence in young people" schlock.

If video games have anything to do with this guy losing his shit, it's because video games are ADDICTIVE, not because they're violent. I honestly don't understand why people get up in arms about the effects of violence in video games when the addictive nature of video games can cause just as many problems.

Maybe it's because all those people are addicted to FarmVille.

All that for a 17 year old console?
Probably not. I'd expect it was a buildup of a lot of things she did and he just couldn't take it anymore. The PlayStation was just enough to nudge him over the edge.

And he's obviously psychotic, but that goes without saying :/

Well, that sucks.
We should probably keep him away from Bulletstorm, though. We don't want him turning into a murderer and a rapist.
Yup. That dumb ***** is definitely gonna use this for support. Although it still doesn't corroborate the rape part.

Quick, someone take him to his aunt and uncle in Bel Air, he needs help!

I reckon video games should be banned after this, I can think of no other reason why he would do such a thing. Check his criminal record he clearly raped 3 year old boys as well I mean just look at his game collection, I can see at least 3 God of War games in his collection, clearly he's messed up in the head. Just sickening. I must write a book and inform everyone, surely Bill O'Reilly will have to let me on his show then!
