My god can you believe this !!??

"You know the feeling. The game over screen appears, and you\'re up next. Except the guy with the pad hasn’t given it to you. He’s held onto it and pressed start. We’ve all been there, and we may even have started hitting the kid with the pad. Louisville County Court in the USA is trying to ascertain whether a similar feud caused 15 year old Aaron Hardin to shoot his younger brother Andre in the head from point blank range in 1999."

the trial has started for the 15 year old boy that shot his little bro because an argument over who was next in a game!? this is really sad people, it makes me feel all fu*ked up inside for some reason, this isnt right, is it the parents falt? I think it is, where the hell are the going to leave a gun around for thier little boy to find it? here is the link to the rest of this story

tell me what you think, im sorry for not putting this in the off topic but i think this is main news even if its not about the ps2

A sad sad world we live in...

But I don\'t blame the parents, nor the society that surrounds us. I blame the people out there that don\'t have half a brain to use common sense. I feel common sense is one of the most important aspects in life, yet so many people in life lack it.

The kid was 15. Some people on this forum are 15.. By the time you get to that age, I\'d like to think they have some intelligence not to blow their little brother\'s brain out over a game.

well my mom told me the story, i didnt see it myself sorry if i got it wrong

It\'s tragic. I think the parents are ultimately to blame. Sure one thinks that a 15 year old has the brains to know what is right and wrong, but the parents are supposed to nurture their child to use their intelligence wisely. If parents were properly raising their children, this wouldn\'t be happening.

Man, this isn\'t just about games. IMHO there are so many influences nowadays. Just take for example the amount
of telivised violence and sex... I\'m now 26 but when i was about 10 years old, none of this was apparant.
Heck, even now in kids programmes there seems to be various sexual inuendo\'s aimed at the older audience.
Kids need to be protected against this stuff man, this IMO is getting out of hand. Maybee in another 10 years
kids cartoons will involve porn n stuff, well maybee not.
But if you are aged about the same as me you\'ll notice the difference in cartoons. i was brought up on stuff like He-man, terrahawks, The Groovie Ghoulies, etc..etc...
Nowadays the cartoons seem a little more violent. Porn is shown at earlier times, allbiet soft but kids understand this stuff.

Society is screwed up, plain and simple. People allways want the bigger explosions, the bigger car crashes etc...etc....
This just fuels the need for more violence on TV. Kids want it, Parents want it. I have two children and i am quite
carefull on what they watch on TV. a good thing though is that they really like the disney channel so i can let them
watch television without any need to keep ane eye on whats on. Kids are very impressionable, parents should
monitor what their children view. this should be applicable to all. but when the kids go to bed then watch what you like.

It is partially the parents fault for making the gun so accessible.

I also think that the kid might be a little crazy. I have been PISSED at my brothers before and we have had fist fights but I would NEVER be crazy enough to go get a weapon and shoot them. To waste two lives over 5 minutes of fun is just ridiculous.

In Spain there was something like that one year ago. A pitty.

Unbeleivable.
I think the parents didnt communicate much with their children so they werent tought about whats right or wrong and about how society is in real life.

Normally kids that mimic violent scenes from TV or Video games indicate to parents that dont spent much time with them thus the kids are influenced by the scenes they see in order to cope woth society instead of parental guidance.Unfortunately TV programs and Video games have a lot of sexual and viloent content instead of the real world so children think these are right because these are the only things they see.

YES, it is totally the parents fault, but it really has nothing to do with the gun.

Lets say that any of us were playing a game and not only did your parent have a gun, but say they left it loaded sitting on the coffee table right in front of you.  Say they aren\'t home and your brother won\'t give you the controller.  Would any of you pick this gun up?  

The kid is screwed up in his head.  The parents probably lost control of these kids long ago.  

Moral of the story, use a condom!!!
