Wait, did I read that right? The dad got shot in the head, and LIVED? Now that's tough.

First, the kid looks like a he's some sort of neo-nazi, not a gamer nerd.
Second, its kids like this who shame the video game industry and make it look bad. Its not the video game's fault he killed his mom, its his. People have killed each other over luxuries like video games for millenia, and they aren't going to stop anytime soon either.

i think this was a trick that the dad was planning, so then he can have his wife dead...

I never said the parents were being bad parents??? and look at my above post. People do stupid things all over the world. But people killing their parents over video games ... I'm sorry but I only hear about that stuff coming from American, maybe the odd case from some other country. Maybe thats the media's fault.

there's more to it than meets the eye from your reference. Read the full story http://www.cleveland.com/news/index.ssf/2008/12/boy_killed_mom_and_shot_dad_ov.html

That family has some issues. They want him home, after all that? The only reason I'd want him home is so I can personally kill his punk ass. There's some sort of imbalance.

Also, at the story in general, how the hell do you get staph infection SNOWBOARDING?? Ive been riding for 8 years

Everything about this thread is incredibly depressing. From this tragic news to the ways he should be killed to the Anti-American sentiment...it's just awful.

Even if the gun was hidden and he didnt find it it would have just postponed this psychos step too far.

Respawning is easy.

This guy should be raped by a guy in master chief armor.

Thank you Shigsy, that was actually an idea that I like.

I've read some of the links provided here, and since his father was a minister i can get why he considered halo violent, but...sexual? Were do the games have sexual referances? (haven't played them, sorry for being ignorant)
