This is really sick. I can't even imagine how anyone could do anything like this...
When the hammer attack did not kill her, Anderson told police, he dragged her downstairs and tried to "cremate her" in the kitchen oven. When that failed, he continued, he beat her in the head with a chair leg before dragging her body outside and hiding under debris in an alley behind the house.
WTF man!
and then:
"If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom . . . she was the only person who cared for me."
What a messed up kid

"That last at least hints at deeper psychological problems than "I MISSED MAH PLAYSTASHUN"When the hammer attack did not kill her, Anderson told police, he dragged her downstairs and tried to "cremate her" in the kitchen oven.

I guess I've always been somewhat of a Microsoft fanboy, but this news story proves to me that the PlayStation must be really, really good.
" There's obviously something else wrong with the kid, if he thought he could cremate his mother in the kitchen oven. Video games didn't teach him to be that psycho. "
Yeah, the article fails to mention that he had already been going to a disciplinary high school and was a troubled kid. But that's what happens when you link articles from a news source with the word "Inquirer" in it.
It only does murder... Seriously though replace Playstation with something else this kid might have been attached to and he would have done the same thing. But I'm sure if the news picks this up they'll have a field day saying the Playstation taught little Billy how to kill.
Due to the amount of times I've seen news like this, I'm not surprised. Unfortunately, I am disgusted that someone could go through with such an action upon a member of their family. That kid shouldn't be offered to be locked up forever. At the age of 16, he's old enough to face the chair, right? I just know Fox News are going to love this story though, and they'll likely pin it upon a popular shooter - I'm guessing Call of Duty: Black Ops. While capital punishment is pure punishment, and offers no rehabilitation, I'm of the mind some people don't deserve the chance.
" Seen so many of those X kills Y for taking/cancelling Z stories that I'm not even all that shocked when another crops up. "He did try to cremate her in the kitchen oven... that's a new one.
As much as I appreciate everyone on the internet becoming a master psychologist when a story comes out like this, fact is his stated motivation for killer her is this. They're just reporting the story. And as usual, most of the hits they get from this story will be from angry gamers who then wonder why these stories keep popping up as they link to it at various other game forums.
" That is horrifying. Truly fucking atrocious. "Yes it is. And rather then let it go or try to comfort the family, some demented asshole will use this to try and further his/her crusade against video games and/or any other scapegoat they can find.
Poor woman, yeah the kid was probably mentally ill but he seemed to be well aware when he beat her with a hammer and then wanted to CREMATE HER BODY in an oven.

" So there's something wrong with you, socially. Someone died and you're concerned with press coverage. You have a personality disorder. Get help. "You know what, fuck you. I'm so sick of you shitting on fucking everybody on these forums. I know you hate life. Go cut yourself or something, but leave the happy people who like to do something in life besides bitch at everything alone.

The entire basis of this being brought up on the forums was the Playstation angle.
No disrespect to the victims of course, but this is a video game forum, not the obituaries.
they should lock this kid up. phsycos are naturally born with insanity (dont trust what i said cause i got that off of Criminal MInds...) so they shouldnt give him any slack.

Stories like this never have anything to do with the object or reason. Some people are simply mentally unbalanced, or as we in the biz like to call it; "Fucked up".
