Man kills his daughter because she turned off his Xbox

[Zeonix]

No one has blamed this incident on video games. You're all making wild accusations when nothing has been said about the video game's involvement in the child's death.

The fact that the game, the machine, etc. were mentioned in the article implies that it will be a mitigating circumstance when it comes to laying the blame.

You sure as hell know they won't blame the guy who did it. This is America.

 

[Zeonix]

Yes, this is America. It's usually a good idea until someone says "HEY THE VIDEOGAME DID IT!" before we start arming ourselves and killing our potential enemies in Washington.

Well, part of me agrees with you. Another part of me is looking around this news office I'm at work in, and gauging the reaction of the older folks who I told this story too, and I gotta tell ya--I'm not too hopeful on being cut a break once that breaks. It must not have happened here in the US, cause if it did, god knows it would be all over the place.

 

[Zeonix]

You're probably right about that. Waiting out the Boomers and their children is getting to be more trouble than its worth.

Its not as bad as the guy who killed his daughter with the WII mote.

 

[Eon]

Yup, very sad indeed.

This HAS to do with videogames, but these act as a small push towards the "going off the edge" area.

For example:

Now whether that was an act or not, it doesn't matter. The fact is things like those HAPPEN, otherwise we wouldn't be at this thread talking about an xbox psycho.

If you look closely, the kid was already upset about something before he started the game. As his desperation and frustration both start to grow, his keyboard is getting more and more ****ed up lol. Anyways, by thinking that a videogame is going to get you back on your feet and cheer you up, you obviously think you're gonna keep winning and/or that the game is gonna load in no-time. And by thinking so, you take the huge gamble of tossing yourself into a nervous breakdown if you keep losing or the game won't load.

The point is: Video games DO have to do with violence, if AND ONLY IF you're a violent and/or nervous/frustrated person.

If you take video games as fun, you're playing it safe, which is good. If you take them as "I gotta win this thing, I wanna be the best, blah blah blah", well...

I'm not saying that it's justifiable or comprehensible what the "father" did, I'm just saying that it all happens for a reason.

The games have absolutely nothing to do with it except for existing, that's the same thing as if someone decides to go to teh batting cages to blow off some steam and get spissed that they can't hit anything that day.

what happened there? :O did it slip out of his hand or something? :S

 

[ZeroNightmare]

mmhmm

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[.Guzzie.]

*Sigh* Sad isn't it. Ahh well, that's the way of life, and that's old news now. We've learned something.
Don't get frustrated if you console turns off and don't predict the reason.
You could end up killing your mother.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[J-Dude]

I'm glad he taught that ***** a lesson.

Right, so assuming there even is such a case, that's completely retarded.

Your logic here, is that a person who kills someone else by accident is worse than someone who kills a person on purpose?

gg

 

[SaiyanPrideXIX]

I like how it's so believable that someone murdered his daughter in a fit of rage but someone accidentally beaning a kid with the Wiimote is "completely retarded."

In any case your console does not have bloody messes like Gears of War waiting to be pulled from the shelves, so this makes me pretty nervous.
