It was his fault, not the games. As a father he needs to be more responsible. This is the classical defense of shifting the blame from you and unto someone else though. I can't see it working but it might reduce his sentence.

Man was an ass. The game ha nothing to do with this.
Blame the game, not the player.
And fox is so going to whore over this, even tho it was almost 2 years ago.

So you are saying blame the game, not the player?Chefodeath said:
Football as a game isn't violent, the players are.
So you are saying that; Blizzard as a company should be held responsible over this morons behavior that led to the death of hes child. That Blizzard should babysit the babysitters. You assume they have some mythic power to be observing everything that is going on around the player.
So let say this.
You are a proud owner of a distillery, you make beer for your living and it is selling really well.
A person drinks always your beer - exclusively. One day this person drinks too much of your beer and passes out, while hes child suffocates to a toy.
Your beer was so good that this person drank it too much and might also been ADDICTED to it, it lead to a death of a child. Should you be held responsible over the death of the child, because the person was unable to take care of the child because he got intoxicated by your beer.
Can you be held accountable? Because one thing we know that exist for sure and that is chemical addiction. One thing we still haven't found any evidence is gaming addiction, it must be either social addiction or behavioral pattern, not an addiction.
So can you be held accountable?

NOOOO! Not death penalty! Let him rot in jail till he is 99 years old. And tell his inmates, I bet they will be able to fit in a daily special treatment for fathers that let their own children die in such a stupid way (some breath control "exercises" with pillows come to mind).Merkavar said:
OP: He obviously has serious mental issues or is just a plain dumbass. Let a game be more important than his own son?!
The problem isn't inability to breath, the problem is the pillow acts like a filter and retains CO2 that yoou keep breathing in and will cause to to become acidotic until you end up dying intoxicated. That make take a couple of hours so makes it even worse as I bet the baby cried over a long time as feeling increasingly disconforted and later like suffocating.Sovvolf said:The fact that these people are allowed to breed really, really, really pissed me off.
Yeah stuff like that should be pretty common knowledge for any parent, if not for most people with much common sense. Pillow over your head is covering your nose and mouth so it means you have trouble breathing, adults can sleep with a pillow on there heads (not recommended) because of the strong lungs (though if your not too careful you can smother your self that way)... A baby, with a smaller head and weaker lungs...Hiphophippo said:Do you have children? I'm not going to blame you for these statements if you don't. Having a child is a life-changing event. It completely changes your entire outlook on the way the world works.Deshara said:
what an asshole. first he lies about y the baby died, now he trying to pin blame on something else? Hope they convict he ass, lock him up and throw away the key.
total and complete scumbag!
total and complete scumbag!
I can understand being fixated on a particularly engrossing game, but fuck, seriously?
This guy should never be allowed to have a child again. Or take care of anything but his own needs.
I feel sorry for the mum, really. Incredibly sorry, to get home and see that that has happened.

Man, I've had enough of this. I wouldn't be suprised if I get actioned for this post but hey, enough is enough.
Headline should read "Man losses son in tragic accident caused by lapse in judgement and attention, will never forgive himself and will end up depressed/taking his own life in the long run, but hey, lets all not only blame a video game but also make his life even worse.. if that were possible, by locking him up and judging him for a momentary lapse that could happen to anyone. After all, parents are all perfect and NEVER make mistakes do they now.. those that do make mistakes that result in tragedy are not feeling bad enough, no, we must demonise and treat them like shit because they made a mistake!"

If these are the man's priorities, then he doesn't deserve to have a child. However, that child should be removed from him and placed in someone else's care, rather than removed in this way. If I was ever too busy with a video game to do something a tenth as important as this, my girlfriend would slap me in the face and tell me I'm an idiot. Sounds like this guy needs someone to do that. Hopefully the justice system has a large enough hand.
This kind of person makes me sick. Man the hell up coward. He left his child to die and instead he is trying to find every defense and excuse to try and remove as much guilt as possible. This is just the kind of thing that the anti-games group need. I swear as soon as there is a conviction they should smother him with a pillow.
