Kid Kills Himself Recreating Halo

[scootlaboot]

An 11 year old child should never have access to a gun. I don't care if it's common in some areas, it is reckless, an 11 year old is nowhere near mature enough to be allowed near a weapon. It's not the games fault it's the child's parents fault for giving him a gun.

 

It is not reckless if the parents have the common sense to actually hammer the safety rules into their skulls and never let them have a gun without adult supervision, and it is the parents fault for the lack of teaching the kid common sense. Kids these days would probably do less stupid [cabbage] if parents would start using physical punishment, aka smack their kids [wagon] once in a while.

[reaper88888]

Well, technically speaking, none of these things killed him...

 

 

 

-The parents.

 

-The kid.

 

-Video games.

 

-The gun.

 

-The lax safety rules.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is only one possible scapegoat: The bullet.

[Dizzle229]

Yup. Guns are cool, but bullets are evil and should be banned.

[Giordano]

 

WHY THE FRICK DO YOU NEED 35 MINUTES EXAMINATION TO PRONOUCE A HEADSHOT WOUND PERSON DEAD?!?

 

Haha, reminds me of the Red vs Blue episode.

 

 

 

"Simmons! Why in the hell would you give CPR to a head wound!"

 

 

 

Dumb kid. Funny jokes coming out from this thread.

[Bluejayfan94]

LOL, Bullets are the cause... So of course we blame a popular shooter video game.

 

 

 

Who knows, maybe he played Call of Duty 4 where Zachiev's son kills himself... And then his parents got home and popped in Halo 3 because they hated it.

I loved that episode lol

[Lenin64]

Bullets should be banned and replaced with guns that shoot ponies. So then the ponies can trample the target to death.

 

 

 

And he yelled at Grif for giving CPR to a headshot. When he thought it was Simmons, he praised him. Come on, guys. Shape up.

So wait, what? How does this have anything to do with Halo. First of all, he OWNED the .22, so it's not like he was unfamiliar with playing with a gun. Second of all, if he owned the .22, then his parents should have taught him about the fact that a round will be in the chamber if the gun had been (Loaded is the word I think?), and that pointing the gun at your head is just asking for the red spray. I mean, I thought you meant he was jumping around, and thinking he can jump off a cliff and still survive, goes ahead and does so. Not point a gun at his head and "pretend" to shoot himself.

 

 

 

I don't see how Halo can be to blame for him shooting himself. The kid should have known better, even if he's 11. And while he should have known better, he still shouldn't have free access to a gun of any sort. It's like how you wouldn't let anyone under the age of 12 be near a lighter (You might also need to include me in there too). While they know better, it's still too tempting to go and play with the lighter/matches if they are right there.

Would you trust an 11 year old with a car alone? Never.

 

Would you trust an 11 year old with a gun alone? Yes.

 

 

 

That is about how stupid the parents are. A car is pretty well as bad as a gun. Both are lethal, though cars depend on the speed.

You don't read the news very often do you? The media always blame the video games. Depending on what crime it is. Murder is blamed on rap/death metal. Suicide is blamed on emo/goth style music or video games. Maybe this is a governments attempt to get kids to play outside. (it isn't working lol)

An 11 year old child should never have access to a gun. I don't care if it's common in some areas, it is reckless, an 11 year old is nowhere near mature enough to be allowed near a weapon. It's not the games fault it's the child's parents fault for giving him a gun.

Kids these days would probably do less stupid [cabbage] if parents would start using physical punishment, aka smack their kids [wagon] once in a while.

 

 

 

If you must resort to violence to get your point across to someone much weaker than you you're a very [cabbage]ty parent :|

Teach kids right from wrong by using violence against them.

 

 

 

I like it! :roll:

You can teach a kid until you're blue in the face but that doesn't mean they'll listen because they are not at an age where they're mature enough. Children are taught road safety and yet many still get ran over every year because they don't abide by the basic training they've been given.

 

 

 

I just don't get the thought process that goes into giving a child (not even a teenager - that would be bad enough) a weapon that is used to kill. It makes no sense to me.

I gotta admit it works as a parental method though, if not administered at least occassionally, the kid will often grow into a wimp, nosey, and possibly questioning every little detail about what their parents do, making it into a "power struggle" (them being your parents should be enough reason to take out the trash if they ask you to).

 

 

 

Didn't personally get much physical punishment as a kid, whatnot with the occassional pull of hair by my mother, and occassionally some spank by the father... But I don't hate my parents at all. They did what they thought to be best.

 

 

 

Talk doesn't always work with a kid, although I have to admit I'd have a very hard time using physical punishments personally.. Sometimes it has to be made clear they have to take note of rules laid down by the parents.. If nothing else works, by physical punishment

[Distracted]

Ridiculous... Blaming a game for a kid shooting himself? How far-fetched does that sound...

Physical punishment is not a good idea. The kids will get scared of the parents, they'll never feel comfortable at home, and in the worse cases might even get traumatized, which will then lead to other problems.

Sure. Kids are [developmentally delayed]ed, they don't think and they don't hear a thing parents are saying.

 

 

 

Yes, I'll admit, some kids are like this, but that's like saying all Germans are racist because Hitler and a few others were.

 

 

 

Oh, and I don't think a kid that gets run over thinks "Oh looky, a car. Let's cross the street and hope nothing happens." Drivers are irresponsible too, and they are the cause of a lot of accidents and people getting run over. And kids aren't the only people getting run over, adults get hit by cars too. So yeah.

In My city, a guy got dumped, went to his Ex's house, and shot her in the face with a rifle. She survived somehow though. :pray:

Its a conspiracy to make us get outside.

I didn't say all kids are stupid and would shoot each other, I'm just noting that when you're young you still have a lot of maturing to do before you become an adult (especially when you're 11). Also, I'm not saying that children go looking to get run over, it's just that they often don't pay enough attention when crossing or don't think about the road safety training they've had when they go to cross. I'm in no way suggesting that it's only children that get ran over, they are just more likely to get hit than the average adult (OAP's being an exception to this here but that irrelevant to my point. All I'm trying to suggest is that no matter how much training a child has, they can/will make mistakes because they are children.

Suicide is blamed on emo/goth style music or video games. Maybe this is a governments attempt to get kids to play outside. (it isn't working lol)

 

 

 

Actually, murder is usually blamed on gangs, and suicides aren't usually mentioned. I watch the news around 3-5 times a week.

Yes but they blame the drive to kill on rap/death metal.
