manhunt related murder?
Reply
Posted 2004-07-31, 12:22 PM
The parents of a boy who was murdered with a claw hammer by a friend have blamed a violent video game which the teenage killer was "obsessed" with.

It's about the game manhunt. Of course now they're all bitching about the fact that those sort of games should be banned...

THis is retarded. That bitch blames a video game for that kids fucked up mind. It's amazing. "Oh we should ban it because people are killing themselves or others". Yeah, like how many people? Dozen, few dozen, a bit more? Comparet his to the millions of sain people who play this game and enjoy it.

People need to have violent games to quell the urge to kill every stupid mother fucker on the planet. They help get that rage out. STupid shits!

I saw something on television about a german kid that took a gun in the school and killed 12 students and 2 teachers, most of them with one shot, in the head.
Every dumb motherfucker in the room said violent video games were the cause.
Then some english journalists went to the bottom of that shit and the boy didnt even have a television, let go a computer... ppl can be really retarded >.<

also i heard about a guy at the olympics for gamez.
Guy said he thought that it was strange that the players didnt hit eachother with base-ball bats after the CS-tourney, but they just shaked hands. He said he was reporter in WW2 and saw more dead people here then in the war. Some other dude said:

Some Smart Dude said:
It's just a bunch of pixel hitting some bits on a television screen. You always complain about this when u go to the movies ????
it was such a big fun to see that... the guy was dressed in a fancy suit, standing there, he couldnt say a thing. People really should learn to be more... tolerant.

-sighs- Here we go again with the "OMG, TEH VIOLENT GAMES MADE THIS CHILD A MURDERER!" Ok, sometimes (in very rare cases) do games actually cause kids to want to emulate what happens. It's the parents' job to make sure that the game is ok for their kids to play. Most parents let their kids play whatever they want, without much thought. EC = Early Childhood, E = Everyone, T = Teen, M = Mature (17+), and AO = Adults Only. These are on there in black and white pixeled art that has a nice little box that can be read by most people. My mom doesn't care what I play (some times) because I know better than to emulate what happens. But some kids can't see past the realm of fantasy and real life (schizophrenic) and will emulate the games. That's why if you let the child have a game that really isn't appropriate for their age, cut back on their playtime with that game significantly. If they usually play between 2-3 hours of video games, cut back the time with more mature games by 1-2 hours, etc. Now, in this case, the child was disturbed to begin with, wasn't he? That means the parents should've been more attentative to his games and his behavior. Parents and adults need to quit blaming the games and take the heat, it is their fault for not being there and being more active in the child/teen's life.

This is also an old topic, the one of games influencing violence, etc. Look at Dungeons and Dragons and you'll see what I mean.

-sigh- No...I should've put in a little more info about DND. Ok, in the 70's there was a kid who was a heavy DND player. He killed himself. His parents blamed the game. There were a few more suicides and I think a murder (dont' hold me to the last one) and the kids did play DND, but it was 98% likely that it wasn't the cause of them doing what they did. Parents and adults look for a scapegoat.
