Father Killed Child over Video Game

[nik0tine]

What a total bastard. This is disgusting...to kill your own little girl over a smurfing video game? What kind of a screwed up person would do such a thing?

A big black guy named Tyrone would do such a thing.

And I know this is in GC, but please don't make complete jerks out of yourselves just because you're not forced to take this seriously.

Awright fowwa, that was a more believable article.

I have never got that angry at anything and I'm like a volcano if something winds me up =(

Hahahaha.

Unfortunately I don't believe a word of that. If it's true, though, the fact that his name is Tyrone makes this unbelievably funny.

...How is that funny?

This looks like a case for Jack Thompson

Watch in awe as the world (including the Daily Mail) gets up in arms about how videogames turn us into crazed killers.

I know, I know... I can see it now:

"Father kills child because he likes Sephiroth. Square is reported to be sued this following thursday."

Stop blameing Games for violence, its ovios that the guy had something wrong with him, either he grew up and somethin bad happend to him, and one day he snapped. Unless everyone who plays violent games, goes around killing, im not convinced that VG are the cause.

No one blamed the video game. He killed the little girl because of what she did to the video game he was playing, and because he's crazy. No one said the video game caused it.

That said, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone tries to connect the dots, and say the violent tendancies stemmed from the game itself, and not, say, serious anger management issues.

There is nothing in this world that makes killing your child acceptable. Leave justice to someone else.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Wow, just wow. That is wrong and horrible.

[vorpal blade]

This has been said by previous posts, but I also think that the grammar is too horrible to be a real report. Or at least I hope it's not real. Seriously, 17 months old, hit in the face twice, possibly slung against a chair... unbelievable, unacceptable, and unforgivable.

Because the only thing you can do when you come across someone that completely bat[img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] loco insane is laugh, or you'd go crazy yourself out of sheer despair.

The thing that annoys me is that I invision this as the older version of one of my friends. He's ubsest with games and once he was over my house playing tekken and kept on losing to Jinpachi. Being an immature idiot, he started making noises like "rrrRAAAHhh". Like his voice volume went up then down. I told him, "Calm down dude, it's just a game". Not to mention my mom was probably scared because she was in the next room. Don't let games take your lives people. It's stupid and retarded.

Too bad.You are looking at one now.

What a total bastard. This is disgusting...to kill your own MOM over a smurfing video game? What kind of a screwed up person would do such a thing?

That would be me.
