Mom turns kid's Xbox off, gets taco thrown in face

[Syntax Error]

That kind of thing happens? Is this another reason to stay away from Xbox Live? Or does this kind of thing happen across the board?

Are you a dtoider, Dastardos?

I don't post there but I check GameTab, Kotaku, Destructoid, and N4G Every Day for gaming news.

I'm a member of Destructoid, under the same name. I checked there everyday, before I found the joys of the Escapist. The community there is also great, but I find this site more appealing.

Well when my mom last turned off my xbox, I threw the controller at her. She caught that controller and proceeded to hide it from me, at which point I took out my other controller and continued playing.

Wow.. How old are you exactly? You must be a very unappreciative bastard to do that to your mum.. As for the jailed guy, he deserves it. If you can't be grateful or at least polite enough to be nice to your family, then you don't deserve to be looked after.

I like how you are probably a bigger poster on a different account and this is just so you don't get banned on that account.

I have a short fuse, so it is wise not to interrupt my gaming unless it is an emergency.

Yeah you could have the shortest fuse in the world. You had better know the consequences of your actions. I just hope you don't blame anyone else but yourself if YOU wind up in jail

What a bratty kid, he should have been grateful that his mom was making him dinner...delicious tacos too. Now I'm hungry. So the kid is in jail now, serves the bugger right.

Bah

It was probably just some badly seasoned ground beef in a pre-made hard shell. That's not a taco, that's bullshit.

(Sorry to chime in, I'm just hungry right now.)

I'm sorry, he's 19 and decides to throw a taco at his 59 year old mother? Alright, first of all, I'm 18 and I don't care enough about my Xbox to throw something at anyone. Second of all, it's his 59 year old mother. That's just wrong. And finally, why waste a taco like that?

I feel sorry for the taco poor poor delicious taco and to think it's because of assholes like this that give video games a bad rep hell even humanity.

19... A kid like that is 19, if I was that kids dad and he called me a retard, I'd be the one sitting in jail for domestic violence...

Well... I think the way it turns out is better. I mean, he'll have to pay the bail or go to jail for x number of months if he can't afford it, or his parents don't have a change of heart. It will be nice to see this develop.

In all honesty, why would someone even consider assaulting another human over a video game? Is a game so important that you would risk going to jail?

 

[Curtmiester]

I just woke up to this. And yes, it did make my day. My week probely.

 

[ForrestDixon]

Thats terrible!!!!!!!! Do you know how much that must have hurt for the Taco????


But assault is assault even in the way of a taco. That will be an interesting court case though.

 

[Fineldar]

I like how using a taco is considered assault and battery, not just assault.

If I was playing a game, and someone turned off my system, I would say "Awwww, come on. What'd you do that for?" In fact, my dad once turned off our power right when I was about to win a game. It was annoying.

 

[EeveeElectro]

TACO... PUNCH!

If I'd have back-chatted my mum like that, or even thrown something at her.. I'd have a mum-shaped hand print on the side of my head that would sting for a week.

He wasted the tasty mexican food! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Man 19 and acting like that.... His mother fails both at educating and at dodging tacos... But seriously what is it with these gaming "accidents"? First that CoD4 kid that ran away and was found dead... and now a taco throwing retard calling kid. What's next? A 42 year old who kicks his grandma in the face because she unplugged the computer during a raid in wow by tripping on the cable?

First that CoD4 kid that ran away and was found dead...

It was a Halo 3 kid actually


as per my earlier comments, it might be important to note that I missed because I was aiming to the side!

 

[orifice]

Did she mess up his high score or something? (I could understand it then!)

 

[oni565]

Not trying to be sarcastic, but does this kid have any mental illness?
