Hmmm...well..it IS halo after all! I mean, who wouldn't kill people just cause they couldn't play such a....I'll say 'great' game 8-)

 

But in general, I think he may be stalked by men in white coats....

Wow, just WOW so god damn pathetic what these moron kids will do. Then he tries to plea INSANITY! Get the **** out of here! I hope he gets locked the hell up for life.

 

 

 

Sorry to break it to you but kids don't just kill their mother over video games. It's deeper than that. In nearly all cases there is always a history of mental illness/drugs or child abuse. The video game was only a trigger or a "snap" and is being blamed for the murder purely for the media hype. This was a planned murder, it wasn't over a video game.

 

 

 

That being said, it was definitely a barbaric act.

They just took his game away, not the console.

He's 17.

 

 

 

THE. MOTHER. [bleep]ER. IS. CRAZY.

 

 

 

EDIT: Oh, yeah. And he's seventeen. Taking away a videogame from a clearly bipolar (at least) kid that knows where his dad keeps a gun (and how to use it) isn't the smartest idea in the world.

 

 

 

Jesus, it even says he's obsessed with the game. If he really was, that's a sign that he's a bit cuckoo. Start paying attention to your kids folks. And don't teach them how to use your guns if they know where you keep them >:l

catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream

Been looking at a few other news articles related to this and it seems the judge believes the kid must have been nuts and let him off on the insanity plea.

 

 

 

I am sorry but at the age of 17 years old your brain is functional enough to know whether or not you kill someone they will be dead and gone forever.

it said he took it when fleeing the scene. that means he left the house. and if not, it's even stranger that the guy stayed in the house with his dead parents and played halo

Insanity =/= young mind. Just because he is 17 years old doesn't mean he isn't insane.

A mental disorder takes away the part of your thoughts that makes rational and functional decisions. Surely you knew that...

 

 

 

Lent - I don't think it's fair to label him "bipolar", you're not a doctor nor a psychiatrist. It seems like everyone's explanation for psycho behaviour and it does annoy me a little.

It's the only mental disorder I actually know the slightest bit about. :s

The media is gonna go to town with this one...

 

 

 

Obviously he had other issues, a mentally healthy seventeen year old doesn't do that over something as trivial as a video game.

 

 

 

Jack Thompson's gonna love this.

It's not unheard of that people with bipolar disorder have "snapped" but it's usually, once again for deeper reasons than just the clouded judgment. Most of these things stem from a horrible past of emotional/physical/sexual abuse.

 

 

 

For example read this article:

Matricide by person with bipolar disorder and dependent overcompliant personality

 

 

 

Abstract

 

Matricide is an infrequent form of homicide. This paper is to present a case of matricide with typical characteristics of the act but interesting particularities as well. The perpetrator was a 43-year-old man, respected member of his community, with over compliant characteristics, eagerness in serving people and caring his parents, good social adaptation before and after the crime. He abandoned his family and work in order to better serve his old, disabled but over demanding mother who frequently insulted and humiliated him. Suddenly he came to a state of mental confusion and strangled her. After the crime, the perpetrator manifested the symptoms of a bipolar disorder and also received the diagnosis of dependant personality disorder. Years later, he presented again a crisis of escalating aggressive urge for which he was hospitalized. Many people and associations of his hometown actively demanded the minimal possible punishment for him. The case is discussed especially concerning: a) hypotheses about the aetiopathogeny of the act, B) the constant support provided to the perpetrator by his family and social environment.

This being said, doesn't make him not have bipolar disorder. I just don't think it's right to put labels on people's heads by guessing symptoms. There is a lot more you need to know to diagnose or to fit characteristics in to a box than you can read about in a text book.

You have to admit, though, the method was fairly epic. "Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you" And he surprise is bullets.

The video game didn't kill anyone... He's just messed up in the head and blamed the video game to try to get out of murder, happens all the time tbh.

 

 

 

If you re-read the article you would come to the conclusion that he didn't try to blame the game.
