15 year old kills step mom over internet bill.
I know stories like this have been posted before. I'm also aware people might get sick of seeing these, but I believe its important we as gamers know what the masses believe games do. Now do not get me wrong, I'm sadden to see a life of a human being taken away over something so trivial. But just because someone plays violent video games and then snaps its the video games fault. The fact the kid was anti-socail and kept his emotions in buried have nothing to do with. No...
(sarcasm ahead) Its because he played counter-strike a new game that only 4 people have ever played. Its introduces new horrifying concepts of people killing eachother with this things called "guns" and thrusting these metal "knives" into their opponent. Lucky these are fictitious items not ever seen in other media or real life. This counter-strike game should be band because it makes 25% of people who play murders.
Obviously, that's not the case. I would just like to say that if enough people watch barney as play C-S or other violent games, they would be a link to murders and barney .
My best wishes to the victims of this tragedy.
I'd say that it's because it's the new medium around, but I don't think movies were still a media pariah by 1960. So next comes ignorance. Let's go with that.
Well you do get the odd nutter, personaly I would of just gone to the cyber cafe and left out the psychotic stabbing. Maybe he thought there were achivement points for stabbing her and thats why he carried on doing it, because they wern't showing up. Anyway stay in school kids, and remember you always run faster with a knife!
The government needs to take control of the internet and police it. Allow people a certain amount of bandwidth. Remove the postal service and create home terminals for easier internet control.
Now he won't get to play for quite a while. Even best case scenario(for him) he goes to a mental hospital for a while and won't get to play for several years.
If some guy kills another person, it is never mentioned what he did after the crime unless he is playing some violent video game.
For example if one would stab his mom, and then takes a walk in the local park, it is not mentioned in any news media. Even though it is equally relevant.
Still, how he behaved while playing CS was strange.
What ever happened to just calling people who are crazy.. you know.. "crazy" instead of always saying it's because of games or movies.
I never once in my life heard anyone back in the day blaming the game Pong for people murdering eachother.
Back then they were just crazy.
If someone murders someone, it's probably because the kid was fucked up in the first place.

We classify things, we find out why people do what they do. That's how the modern world works. People aren't "just crazy" just like whales aren't just sea monsters.
I think what does it the most for me is this lovely little advert at the bottom of the article advertising counter strike for sale
" @ZeForgotten said:So you actually do think that games are the reason for someone killing someone else, just because a blog or newspaper writes it?"

You can sit there (or stand, I dunno :P) and actually tell me without thinking twice, that it is in fact the games that are the problem and not the person in question being fucked up?
Some progress.. :/ One step forward, two steps back
Like Chris Rock said, back in the day there were just the crazy kids. Nowadays though, people are all like what were they watching, playing, listening to? What the fuck was Hitler listening to!!??

"So true, why do we need something to blame really? can't we just call them nutters and be done with it?
