Boy Kills Brother After Videogame Argument

[G1eet]

Yeah, so the kid knows where to find and how to use a shotgun, but it's the video game's fault?

Whatever happened to journalistic integrity?

It died in a murder-suicide when the newspaper decided it didn't want to die a slow, agonizing death, alone and unloved by future audiences.

 

[SomeUnregPunk]

the worst part is people blaming it both guns and video games when it's the father and the education he gave about guns they should be blaming.

All i'm going to say; only in America

This well it happens in britain too but less frequently.

TARDCHECKED.

Thank you Darrious Finley for removing yourself from the Gene Pool.

I love how people say that. I mean, a child just got killed, no one seems to be mourning the loss of a FUCKING 9 YEAR OLD CHILD!! Everyone asking who's to blame, and some people are even praising the fact that the kid is dead.

Am I the only one that thinks that's just a bit sick?

The poster who got banned went too far but you are being inconsiderate to the heartless bastards. I mean calling us horrible people sick might hurt our feelings no mightn't it.

You know? I bet if the brothers got into a fight when the younger one lost at, I dunno, Chess or a race around the garden, no questions would be pointed at the activity but rather the moron parent.

I have no problem with guns and at what age people are introduced to them. I live in a gun-free society (legal firearms, anyway), and I don't much care what Mr. Mississippi teaches his young kids, but Videogames? Really? That was the ONLY possible cause? Come on!

(Yes, only reading the first few posts...)

I blame the father for having his gun in a place where the boy could get his hands on it.

Not only that, but he should also be blamed for teaching his 9 year old how to load and fire a shotgun, that is left where the boy can get it.

Agreed. Why even have one in the first place?

I'm sorry, but I don't agree. It's the father's fault for not telling the boy that the thing is a very serious weapon, but it is not his fault for teaching the boy how to load and fire one. Also, having one around is good for any serious situations, thank you, like if there was ever an assailant in the home, or the more serious threat these days, government trying to take your guns away.

It's the dad's fault completely, and I swear if Jack Thompson says anything about this (and he will) I'm really going to be pissed off.

 

[CyberAkuma]

This has nothing to do with gun availability in the states. Na-uh. It's all the videogames fault. Quick! Get Jack Thomson on the line!

I blame Mario Kart, Those fights allways end with someone dead.

 

[Elivercury]

Actually, i don't blame the guns much, and even to a DEGREE, the father for leaving it accessible. I blame the kids. Or more specifically the 9 yr old who clearly must have had some sort of mental issue.

I've fought with my brother over games before, punching and kicking, but i've never actually gotten a WEAPON (unless we're including maybe a stick or a toy) and tried to use it against him. While having an unlocked gun is definately not a good idea, even if there was no gun, the kid could have easily gotten a knife (kitchen knife, dads tools, etc. - you don't tend to lock these away when they'll be on an at least adult waist height surface, which a child should be old enough to know knives = dangerous), and while attempting to disarm him one of them got fatally wounded. Of course the focus would still be on video games, or "Murderer training programs" as the media likes to make out.

But at the end of the day, i blame either the parent for not instilling a proper fear/respect of weapons in the children, and the child himself for over reacting, as the same thing could have happened with a knife or some other weapon.

So, the younger kid loses at a video game, then goes and gets a shotgun and loads it as a bad joke (OH HI PARENTS). And the older brother takes it away from him, the gun going off in the process.

It sounds like an accidental suicide, due to their father's negligence in securing his firearms.

Oh, wait, I mean:

The brothers were playing a death simulator, and the older bother, fresh off the high of virtually disemboweling his younger brother, gloats maniacally. The younger brother, driven over the edge by the combination of the adrenaline from murder simulating and his recent e-defeat, remembers where his dad stored his shotgun. And every gamer knows shotguns are the best short range solution in a firefight.

He carefully loads the barrels, but his older brother recognizes the familiar sound of a shotgun loading near the area of the weapon spawn point. He charges in to melee range, prepared for the inevitable quicktime struggle. Then, the older sibling valiantly mashes his brother's face to disable the shotgun, but fails to stop short of the final button press that resulted in an instant kill. In the cutscene after the battle, he realizes that his enemy was actually his younger brother, and unlike their other battles, Aeris dies.

LOL i was half imagining that in a video game style
PRESS X TO GET GUN

until the older generations start to die the blame for underage violence will be on Video Games, just some more journalistic crap

Ah damn I wanted to know what they were arguing about.

People die every day, and in worse ways than this. Mourning a death isn't going to do shit. It's kinda like arguing with an umpire in baseball after a call has already been made; it's not going to change a damn thing.

...

Words fail me.

Tragic. Father is a moron for having a loaded shotgun laying around. Also he fails at teaching his children anything. The police don't know what game they were playing? Look in the freaking console detectives! Not that what game they were playing matters. The father is to blame here. If his children were taught anything of value they would know not to mess with a gun period. So f'ed up.

Seconded.

Triple post (I think)!

EDIT: Yep, triple post.

I can see the headline now. "VIDEO GAMES KILL 9 YEAR OLD BOY"

*shakes head*

Whats this world come to?

Somebody needs to go a secure wing in a psyciatric hospital I think :\ getting a fucking shotgun because of a computer game o.o
