Drunken Woman Stabs Boy Over Xbox Playing

[Soxafloppin]

Blame the beer, not the game.

I agree with this guy.

 

[GamingAwesome1]

The irony is too great! Women stabs kid? The reverse is what all those video game hating bastards would have you believe!

This is too rich, I'm bringing this up every time some one tells me video games cause violence in those who play them, oh quite the contrary!

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Huh, so gaming does incite violence... by the parents!

Give me a few minutes to soak in this information...

I lol'd. What is with that picture recently, it seems to be getting a lot of screen time.

OT: Heh. My girl lives in Scotland and judging from what she seems to recount to me, this, well...it's not surprising in the least.

 

[A Random Reader]

Oh the irony...

 

[Octorok]

To be fair, a DRUNK SCOTTISH WOMAN would stab someone over pretty much anything.

Did she use the Eyelander though?

Wow, at this rate there will be more recorded events of violence against gamers than by gamers.

Like the Manhunt [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/leicestershire/3934277.stm] trial?

Hoy crap. I hate anti-videogame media. Parents and journalists alike seem to know nothing about the games they speak of. I give you - The Anti-Videogame Lobby Trial!

I present, Exhibit A - Not bothering to research the game beyond looking at the cover.

"Following the hearing she said her son's killer had mimicked a game called Manhunt, developed by Edinburgh-based Rockstar North, in which the players score points for violent killings."

Then I present Exhibit B - Blaming the game for a murder with no proof.

"The way Warren committed the murder is how the game is set out - killing people using weapons like hammers and knives." (Note : This is an example of extreme stupidity. Let the court records show that people have been killing with knives and hammers for thousands of years, and please emphasise that it is highly unlikely that anybody thought of the idea to kill with weapons because of a videogame)

"...and it encourages brutal killing.

If he was obsessed by it, it could well be that the boundaries for him became quite hazy."

..."There is some connection between the game and what he has done."

Exhibit B[sup]i[/sup] - Calling for a ban on all violent videogames. (Note - Connection to Exhibit A here as nobody understands games)

"Mrs Pakeerah, 36, called for violent video games to be banned."

"She said: "I can't believe that this sort of material is allowed in a society where anarchy is not that far removed."

"It should not be available and it should not be available to young people."

"I don't play these games but if they are influencing kids to go out and kill people then you don't want them on the shelves."

Thankyou your honour, that is all.

Why do so many people blame videogames? And I don't just mean stupid journalists or politicians, why do parents genuinely believe that games cause murder.

Nice to see Scotlands active kids programme is coming along swimmingly, though they probably need a better method to get them off the games

Ranty Rant: Justified

Perhaps I shouldn't say that victim Stefan Pakeerah, 14, owned the 18 rated game while murderer Warren Leblanc, 17, didn't own it.

 

[draith007]

and so once again! The game is saved! Thanks toooo- The liberal court system! Then again were they in scotland? It doesn't say, if thats the case I dunno...

Probably because of many reasons for it to get screen time. That and it is one heck of an amusing picture if you're not squeamish.

 

[Rooster893]

Blame it on the OLD LADY

 

[Iron Mal]

Remember kids: Games don't kill people, alchohol induced rage does.

Seriously though, I'm waiting for someone to try and spin this so it does become the 'evil video game's' fault (I'm giving it at least a week).

Because people would rather blame an outside source than think that the person may just be a psychopath. Or at least, that's my view of it.

Heh, it is undeniably legendary.

Personally, I would love to see it in Slow Motion

This is a little queer...
I wonder what game the child was playing? It has little relevance, but still circumstances could have been different. If the child was playing Dora the Explorer or something soft like that his reaction time would have been slow. If he had been playing Tekken 6 or if "I" was playing Tekken 6, it would have been different.
Playing Anna Williams as I normally do not only would I have noticed her trying to hit me from behind, I would have broken her arm in many different places and then danced seductively? I would like dream that I could do so anyway.

Would you mind if I paid to watch you do that second last part?

Try stabbing the Xbox, that always works!

OT: Tsk Tsk, stabbing your own son, that just isn't right!

 

[JWAN]

xbox 360 is the now
but ps3 is the future

Sony hopes
-----------
Ban alcohol because it stabbed the child. Also blame my pen for misspelling words on my art history exam.

Didn't woman stab the child? /:
And PS3 isn't future D:<
Xbox 360 now xbox 360 forever!

no the ALCOHOL stabbed the child, just like how guns kill people
