I understand the pain of the Noah\'s mother, but she directs the pain to a wrong destination; she blames Midway for killing her son.

Someone has to be made quilty again; the boy whom really killed Noah didn\'t get anything. I mean, a boy of that age should really know how dangerous it is to swing around with a knife. This could have been more sense-making if the boys would\'ve been 6 year olds. But then again, they shouldn\'t blame Midway; they should\'ve blamed the guy who left the knife on the sidewalk.

This world is dangerous.

Games are always suspected. Oh, I played Doom when I was a kid; now I go and kill ppl rapidly with my father\'s shotgun because I became a maniac! And I get off with it, as the game is being sued, not me! BHOAWHAWHAW...

NEWS just in.....

Kid at the age of 10 shoots his father’s head off. Thinking he was a zombie trying to eat his brains, the father was simply kissing his son goodnight.
The child had been keeping a shotgun in his bed thinking that his father was a zombie, that was tasting his head every night waiting for the right time, When the Childs brain was ripe.
So the child pulled out the father’s shotgun from under the covers and blew his dads head off. The last words his father heard was "die zombie scum".
The mother was standing in the next room, and heard everything that was happening. By the time police arrived it was way to late. “The father’s brains were on the walls, some was even stuck to the ceiling fan.” Said police lieutenant, Michael.  
The mother is now sueing Capcom.

Nahhh just joking. :D

you say that but watch it happen sometime and then capcom would probaly get sued by someone\'s momma and have to stop making games and stuff

well probaly not but it is possible - just not probable i guess

that would suck though - imagine hearing something like that in the next rooma dn not being able to do anything fast enough - that would drive me insane the rest of my life

ok i am getting too serious about a joke - :D

Doesn\'t anyone find it even a bit odd that the incident occured back in 1997? And it is only now that mommy and daddy took action?

What drove them to do this now... *cough*money*hack*gettingtheresponsibilityofftheirownbacks*cough*
*wheeze*
Sorry.

Yah, I wonder what...

They have always got out of hand. Suing because you spilled hot coffee on you--and it didn\'t have a warning? People are greedy and will sue for anything.

And I wasn\'t saying a 13 year old shouldn\'t know how dangerous things like that are. He should of and probably did. I was just saying its the parents job to raise a kid with some damn common sense. Which apparently, these parents didn\'t do.

yea thats how i see it - we had a big discusion of this in my english class whe they had the columbine incident 2 years ago

people always blame the media or something along that lines so it distracts from the simple fact that i belive there are two things that make a person who they are; A person\'s upbringing and Their constant enviroment/

those two things eefect a person mentally - so to me is the parents falut and the people who antagonized those kids day in and day out - they are the ones that gave them the mind to kill people[talking about Columibne]

At least it wasn\'t a game like Mickey\'s Speedway USA, think of all the terrible things that came from that game... a mouse driving a car?

Society is really going down the crapper. Parents are letting TV and Videogames raise their children and they get mad when the kid emulates something that they see. People are disgusted by the actions of the Columbine shooters but think Anthony Hopkins VERY graphic cannibalism spree is good entertainment.

A crock of **** !!!!!!

She should blame herself firstly for not supervising them,and also why did she let them go to see Mortal Combat Annaliation, blame the arcade/videostore not putting a stop to this and only letting mature people play those types of games. (in australia in some arcades games like house of the dead have a curtain around the machine so young people cannot play/watch.

Next time I have a friend over and we allwatch Halloween, put on the shapes mask and stab him to death. :rolleyes:

Just basically a way for her to cash in !!




I met him 15 years ago, I was told there was nothing left, no reason, no concious, no understanding and even the most rudamentory sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong, I met this 6 year old child with this blang pale emotionless face and, the blackest eyes, the devils eyes, I spent 8 years trying to reach him, and then another 7 trying to keep him locked up because I realised what was living behind that boys eyes was purly and simply evil.
