The idea that the gaming and violence ISNTS linked, The game he was playing could have had no influence on his outburst. Maybe he was $4 away from paying off his animal crossing house, and she flicked the power off.
My brother deleted a 160hour Pokemon Red save file when i was 12, and i attacked him with a Pool Noodle for 5 minutes. There are no pool noodles in Pokemon, it was JUST WHAT WAS THERE. I didn't stock up on Badgers and snakes, waiting for the day to flip out in a context- appropriate manner.

That's not blaming video games. Simple reading comprehension would tell you that isn't blaming video games. That's just saying that the source of the attack was over a dispute involving video games. That's different from "video games caused this attack". It IS NOT blaming video games. The author here on the Escapist put that spin on the article... it is a blatantly sensationalist and exploitative spin on an article.dogstile said:
Seriously. The article didn't blame video games in the slightest. If you say so otherwise, then you are reading into the article, and are inventing it. There's NOTHING here to discuss. Seriously.
The real problem is that kids test the limits of what they can get away with all the time, and too many parents react to that power struggle by simply and repeatedly saying "no" to the kid. The kid learns that there are no consequences to it's actions but apathetic words, and that they are the kings of the household. One day, when it is much too late, someone sets them limits they never knew and they react by enforcing their will with tragic consequences.
1st time you say "no".
2nd time you say "NO!"
3rd time you smack them.
4th to n'th time you smack 'em harder until they do as they are told.

I wonder why this trend doesn't spread to otehr things, i mean theres bound to be sime sick fucks who kills people because they won't let them have their prefered meal, but you don't hear headlines like "KFC blamed for grizly murder"
Or to put it even more on edge, i'd sadly be willing to bet that more people are kileld/raped because they weren't willing to sleep with their assainlant, but you'll never hear a headline about a womans lack of lust for her assailent beeing blamed as the main reason she got killed, and thank god for that.
Just wondering why there are enough people stupid enough to buy into it when i's about video games, to make it worthwhile to come with statements like the one in the article...

Well... there is only one thing I can say. (I hope he did this.)
Anyway, stupid kid deserves punishment. A good tazering isn't bad every now and again.

blame evolution for making us weak to major flesh wounds as well.mad825 said:
OT: why blame the game? the game did nothing wrong. the game just got turned off, and that pissed off an obviously psychotic teen with two fucking swords! how and why he got 2, i have no idea but i would like to know.
.......So...They let the kid keep his swords after he was already arrested for attacking his grandma with one?!
....What the hell, man. The kid already proved he's not responsible enough to have one. Why let him keep them?!

Really? Where do you live? I own a properly sharpened Ghurka Kukri, and I'm in Britain.Abedeus said:
OT: Am I the only one who thought "poor dog! Getting whacked on the nose!"?
In all seriousness, anyone willing to harm their own grandmother is a grade-A dickwipe, insane or not.
