I think I'm going to be sick :erm:

All I have to say is he should be locked into jail FOREVER the murdering sod :grind:

Re: Game causes Murder
 

Agreed,
But your just as well blaming Freddy from nightmare on elm street as you are games.

Like she (his mother) says...
"I don't play these games "

EDIT: I realise that he said he did it because of the game, but it takes more than a single game to create an twisted evil little b****** like that.

Re: Game causes Murder
 

Agreed :mad:

It's rather worrying,all these teenage murderers.:(

Re: Game causes Murder
 

It's easier to blame something else than come to terms with your child being a murderer.

Re: Game causes Murder
 

You notice teenage murders are getting more and more?

I would like to stay in than go out side now with all this happening, very worrying like Incognitas said :erm: :(

first, he should go down for a long time, possibly the rest of his life.

second, the game is rated 18, so what was a 17 year old doing with it? he must have had it for a while to be "obsessed" with it, so if the game is responsible for making him kill, then the shop that sold him the game must share the responsibility, and the liability.

everyone is so quick to point the finger at game studios, but no one ever seems to care about the idiots who sell these 18 rated games to, well lets face it MINORS!
If the shops selling these games took a little bit of care in who they sell to, and if PARENTS, oh yes lets not for get them, took an interest in what their children are doing then it could well be a far different situation.

Ok rant over.

Peace Out.

Yeah,
I blame the parents who dont "smack their kids" and issue proper punishment when their kids get out of line, then think that a wiggle of the finger is all it takes (yeah - dreamtime).

But that could be a whole other thread (and a very unpopular stance).

Re: Game causes Murder
 

I, like most other people my age, grew up watching violent/horror movies and playing violent computer games (mortal kombat) and I never once felt like going out and killing someone. Even if these thugs did not watch these movies or play these games, they would still do the same things only those over-rated counsellors and psychologists would not have anything to blame it on.

Re: Game causes Murder
 

I watch violent movies and play "some" violent games, even thinking of "death" just brings horrible things to me :(

Re: Game causes Murder
 

unfortunately i think games like these trigger people in to doing such nasty things, manhunt is now a fairly old game, its tame really, even though im not really in to violent games, some of it was visibly gory but nothing that a decent horror movie cannot superseed.

the game is not at fault its the person, the trigger, and their phsycological frame of mind after playing such games.

Re: Game causes Murder
 

Violent films and now games have always been blamed.In my day it was toy guns that were supposed to be a bad influence. :rolleyes:

It's frankly a case of any excuse will do to avoid actually saying that you are a devient and actually like killing because to admit such a thing is get you a longer sentence.

Re: Game causes Murder
 

Our judicial system is useless. If you don't admit guilt you get a long sentence but if you admit to being guilty you get a lesser sentence :erm:

The law needs to be extremely hard on all types of criminals. Once people realise that if they break the law they will be punished then alot of crime will go away. People might not like how other countries treat law breakers with very strict & tough sentences but in those countries it works.

If we act tougher on these thugs no doubt you will still get those that harp on about human rights and all that bull**** but if you are a normal citizen that does not go around causing trouble then you have nothing to worry about.

How many people would feel safe catching a train on their own late at night in London?

Re: Game causes Murder
 

Now if you banned guns, there would be no more violence...

Oh wait.





It is horrible, but the game no more caused the murder than I caused it to rain today. Someone made a conscious decision to commit murder. Blame that person, not the game.

And, that person should take the shortest road to the noose.
