Man Killed After Fight Over Cheating in Madden

With "friends" like these who needs enemies?

What ever happened to "Dude, cut this shit out or I'm fucking leaving?"

When did we resort to murder? What the fuck

An important point to make here: 'WE' didn't resort to murder. THEY did. Just a few (probably) drunken bastards. That's all. As soon as anyone starts generalizing this behaviour, ALL GAMERS LOSE. Calm down, folks.

How about we meet half way. Paralyze them for life. That way every morning they have to awake to the knowledge that what they did resulted into living in there own flesh prison in a sense.

No. Revenge will not bring him back and neither will paralyzing them. Their conscience will get the best of them.

And it would get the worst of them if they were stuck in a chair for life. Ever think they don't have a conscience? They killed a man for cheating in a video game. As far as i see it they don't have the capabilities for guilt.

If they don't have a conscience then they are mentally ill and should be treated as such.

...I don't have a conscience....i'm not mentally ill lol. K let me say it like this. I don't have Guilt Regret or remorse. They knew what they were doing was wrong but they still did it. And the Criminal Reform system doesn't work to reform them. They need to be punished a different way.

Yes you are. Guilt, regret and remorse are part of a normal human beings range of emotion. Absence can indicate something anywhere from aspergers to a brain tumor.

Also, you don't KNOW if they knew that. Either way, an absence of emotion would indicate a mental problem. Still, death is not to be taken lightly and neither you nor a judge have the right to decide if somebody lives or dies.

WE SHOULD MAKE FARMVILLE MOM AND MADDEN DUDES HAVE A FIGHT TO THE DEATH IN AN ARENA MADE OF LIONS AND FIRE!!!!!! AND THE WINNER IS GIVEN AN ACIDTINI COCKTAIL!!!!!! THIS IS ALL A VERY RATIONAL REACTION!!!!! WHY ARE GAMERS STEREOTYPED AS TANTRUM-THROWING HYPER-EMOTIONAL CHILDREN?!?!?!

*sigh* Thank you, Dr. Internet.

True. But i still think they should be paralyzed for life. Look at the 5 guys in a case that happened here. If i could i would put them all in wheel chairs.

And what's that going to solve?

 

[Jewrean]

Let it be known...any political person with power should know that this incident did not happen because of videogame violence but for the simple fact... that foot ball is violent...if you want to blame anyone for this blame football!!!

I'm not a football fan but we don't need to blame football here. I mean people in the old west killed each-other for cheating in a game of cards after all? To put it simply; some people are pretty much born violent and we shouldn't be wasting the worlds oxygen allowing them to live longer.

Nothing. BUT the justice system in canada doesn't really work. Those guys got saps on the wrist for cold blooded murder. At least if someone read about how all murderers were ending up in wheelchairs for life some would start to think twice about it.

Are they going to end up in prison or not?

 

[superbatranger]

Oh, wonderful timing, boys. That's just perfect. Right when the Supreme Court is hearing the California case, you guys pull this off. Great work.

They didn't. Worst they got was 2 years time served house arrest. So they sat at home all day playing their 360's. And yes it was 360's because i went to school with them and knew them all. They without a shadow of a doubt deserve to lose the ability to walk. They are complete assholes.

So you went to school with the guys that commited manslaughter or is this another story?

Has anyone else ever noticed that when there's a "This person was killed/died because of videogames" angle the people involved are always massive idiots?
Like, they aren't gamers, or the sort who would play games normally. It's an abusive housewife who killed her baby, or some footbal thugs.

Yes, video games are clearly to blame for idiots killing people...

...here we have another victim of the very serious disease called "stupid". Stupid affects millions of people every year. Stupid is not contagious directly. However, while hereditary stupid can also be caused by extreme exposure to the infection. Eventually the immune system, especially in impressionable people, can break down and stupid can infect the person. Even though it takes a long time for stupid to spread from one person to another, people with stupid affect millions of people who do not have stupid. Please be careful when playing video games with people who bear stupid as it can end in, well, this.


OT: As if my above wasn't obvious enough, I would not blame the game for this. I blame the fact that these people were really, REALLY fucking stupid. If I recall, a stupid person killed his friend while imitating a WWE wrestling move. WWE is actually a prime cause of stupid. Then again, a tool who would buy the new Madden game every single year is no doubt infected with stupid. But no doubt there will be politics who can and will rag on (also infected with stupid as said above) about how video games incite violence based around this. These idiots are what help fuel the Jack Thompson fire.
