Gaming causes drinking which causes rape.Von Strimmer said:Will Fox blame gaming or drinking?
Having a sense of humour is not something that requires vocalising at every opportunity to prove it still exists, NOT making a joke about this kid being raped is not proof of a loss of sense of humour... its only proof of a lack of common decency.Thyunda said:Don't see why that should cripple his sense of humour.Kinguendo said:A 12 year old got raped... wanna shut up?squeekenator said:That was a wii bit of an overreaction from the 26 year old.
No seriously, that wasn't even remotely justified.
Hm, if my limited (VERY limited knowledge, only did two years of it in High School) knowledge of Psychology tells me anything, it could have been the Bystander Effect...Rawne1980 said:Folks, just take a second to read the story now we've had a debate about it....
So there were 4 of them. And none of them thought to help their "friend" out?Investigators say Parry was at a house where four boys, ages 12 and 13, were having a sleepover.
So not only am I expected to believe that 3 kids sat and watched their "friend" get a Wii remote introduced to him intimately but that the parents of one of the boys were also in the house and heard nothing.The act was witnessed by the other boys. The parents of the boy who was having the sleepover were asleep upstairs,
Pretty sure, at the very least, one of the kids would have woke them up.
So not only did they not wake the parents or inform the police, i'm expected to believe he told a neighbour who then called the police.Parry allegedly confessed what he had done the next day to a neighbor who called police.
I can get a faint odour of bullshit from this story.
Hey now, steady on... I enjoy the occasional beer but that doesn't mean I'm liable to sodomise children at the drop of a hat. I'd say that, if this story is true, the guy had deep-rooted anger management issues which would dwarf any drink problem he might have had.Caramel Frappe said:Also, what makes me really concerned is why did the parents entrust a 26 year old to be around these kids if they even knew he drank beer?
Common decency over what? A press coverage of an ALLEGED sexual crime (he's still accused,not convicted despite what the Kotakidiots might mislead you to believe) involving a certain gaming console controler?Take your PC away from the thread,last time I checked the Internet had freedom of expression,and frankly,it IS funny from certain perspectives especially the "Shut up or I'll shove that Wiimote up your ass!" angle.Kinguendo said:Having a sense of humour is not something that requires vocalising at every opportunity to prove it still exists, NOT making a joke about this kid being raped is not proof of a loss of sense of humour... its only proof of a lack of common decency.Thyunda said:Don't see why that should cripple his sense of humour.Kinguendo said:A 12 year old got raped... wanna shut up?squeekenator said:That was a wii bit of an overreaction from the 26 year old.

Rape is indeed a horrible crime...BUT he probably will think twice before mouthing off.New Frontiersman said:... The fuck!? That's messed up! Drunk or not that shitbag deserves to go to jail. Forever.
It wasn't even that he was drunk, he was just a sick fucker! What was wrong with him, how could that possibly not be massively disproportionate retribution for being teased?Kotaku said:The next day, cops say Parry attacked the victim again even though he'd sobered up. He was arrested after confessing the assault to a neighbor.
I don't think anyone anywhere would refer to a rapist as "awesome".ScrubberDucky said:people saying either side was awesome for different reasons.
Since when is rape a good fucking lesson! Rape is not a suitable punishment for mouthing off! This isn't a good lesson for anyone! A man raped a child!Silent Biohazard Solid said:Having said that, mouthy pre-teens need to know when to shut the hell up and have some respect for their elders. Hopefully this is a lesson for everyone.
This whole situation is sick and wrong...
That poor child... I can't imagine what this will do to him...
Wow, you really dont like kids do you? Or you really like sex criminals...Ramanthes said:Common decency over what?

I also find the Dead Baby jokes funny.Unfortunately (for) you don't get to decide what other people find tasteful,or get to shut them up.
This. I wasn't going to comment here but after seeing the kind of stuff people are writing I feel I have to. It just feels so sinister to realise that some people can understand this guy's motivations, I get the feeling these are the people who are only a few steps below doing something like this themselves. To the people blaming a lack of "Respect for your elders" or "Kids these days" or anything like that, what the fuck? I can understand the concept of older people deserving more respect if we're talking truly old people who may have gained wisdom from a long life, but not a goddamn 26 year old, 60+ perhaps. Even then there are many under educated elderly people and just as many young people who are wise beyond their years.Caramel Frappe said:...Yeah, there's a line to cross between scolding kids for teasing you and then using a Wii remote to rape a child, also mentally scaring him. Also, what makes me really concerned is why did the parents entrust a 26 year old to be around these kids if they even knew he drank beer? Can't make sense of this at all, not one bit.
... This is just upsetting, and very disturbing. The fact these adults are getting all emotionally butthurt over kids taunting to become so violent in the most wicked ways... is really questionable. You'd think the guys around ages of 26 and higher would laugh or least shrug it off. What the crap... do we not mature as we get older? I'll never know..
