You can't blame video games for something this, at the ages of 16 & 17 you are old enough to be morally responsible for your own actions. My son is 4, but he knows that hurting people is wrong.

At the age of 4, "hurt" is still an abstraction to a child. He may know that hurting is wrong and unpleasant, but if he doesn't know he's hurting someone then he will still make the mistake.
I agree with your point but your example needs work.

I have a hard time with this story being true with the video game slant. These teen's were out to kill and not going to stop, or the story is bogus. RabidBunny |
Yeah I totally agree with that.. No-one in their right (or even drunk) mind would (continue to) do something like that.
2008 Predictions:
Those two must be really twisted. Anyone of any age, drunk or sober can understand that you should stop beating a crying 7 year old. How the hell does shit like this happen? How stupid are those teens that they actually killed that girl.

Videogames can't be blamed for this...these two kids are obviously too stupid to play a complicated game like MK.

And they weren't high on drugs? I can't think of how any human could continually harm a child until dead, unless they were completely drugged up or something.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
There are sick people in this world. Just look at some of the off topic threads.
Life in prison for both of these two sick morons

Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

@topic,
I tend to agree they should be tried as adults, or at the very least the 17 year old. It is just scary how many people don't seem to understand the basic concept of 'actions result in consequences'.
This little girl never had a chance at life because these idiots were never tought, and/or could never grasp a concept that should be obvious to anyone with half a brain. Its just pathetic, no other way to say it.

NUMBER ONE! What teenagers are still playing Mortal Combat? Are you kidding? Anyone want to place bets on a lawyer or a parent suggesting this being the reason they beat a child to death? I don't remember slapping buttocks, pinching thighs, and poking chests in Mortal Combat. NUMBER TWO(and this is the biggest thing) Doesn't anyone think that the kid being drunk has a little more to do with his stupid actions than the acting out of a 15 year old video game?
