  • 23 years for blowing someones head off point blank, but we kill a man that may not be guilty.

  • I feel so sorry for his father. Guy let's the kid play violent video games in the first place and cuts the kid off because 18 hours is an insane amount and after this kid kills his wife, he still loves him. Now I may be against religion, if you want to believe in something to make you want to lead a better life that's fine, but that is never what happen. In this case though, it is, what a forgiving man!

  • Motherfucker go to hell

  • This has nothing to do with videogames. Stop making excuses for EVIL PEOPLE!

  • This guy is the ultimate fucking dork!

  • KILL STREAK!

  • Have fun getting tea bagged in real life you dumb asshole!

    

  • I bet he was a helluva player too. This shows commitment. 18 hours a day? He must have been unreal. It is a shame he grew up in Cleveland. Poor kid never had a chance.

  • I bet he never even had a 50.

  • Lol he's missing out on halo 4

  • i can see how some one can be adicted to a game but to be so adicted it would make you want to kill your love ones is impossable or atleast very hard to beleve this kid was mad that the game was taken away and he wanted to get revenge on the parints for doing so its not adiction its anger and anyone who beleves otherwise is a fool

  • 0:42

    almost narcotic effect on people

    well jeeze, that must be why in all of the tens of millions of gamers out there, there have been a whopping 40 cases of extreme criminal behavior! wow, that's almost a fraction of a percent!

    fucking cunts

  • American = political term, citizens of the United States of America (see: American vs Native American)

    European = physiographic term, people from the European continent.

    Asian = quasiethnic term, people of Asian descent.

    Scandinavian = geopolitical term, people of Nordic origins.

    If your mother or father, brother or sister gained an American citizenship a week from now, does that immediately make him or her ignorant and/or stupid?

  • whats so wrong about killing - i mean all an industry is making its money from

  • 23 years THATS ALL, FCK HIS WHOLE LIFE!

  • OMG white people dumbest human ever existed

  • @Davincciable excuse me bitch, you might want to think before you say anything about my race. You little fuck we are the smartest race to ever exist if it weren't for us you would be in your huts hoping daddy to come home with an animal to eat and if not you would be eating your own shit, you little brat. Don't you ever say that you fuck, you can't even compete with us in athletics either you dumb faggot.

  • @RomRomBeast oh sorry i didnt know smartest race act without thinking about consequences , U people like to embarrass yourself striping naked running around the street . Without u people we be eatting shit ?? WTF ? Without us u wont be eating bread and spaghetti idiots . Without H1B American Scientific establishment will collapse . Know what H1B is ? 100% For foreign Born . Go back to high school man u will see the difference

  • I play battlefield and modern warfare a lot. And I mean a lot!! Doesn't wanna make me go fucking kill somebody, especially my parents! People like to take the easy way out and blame video games, but the killers are already mentally unstable, no sane person would kill somebody, especially over something stupid as this!

  • Told you...

  • HALO REACH FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • FUCK YOU GUYS I UNBALANCED IT!

  • Well SOMEONE was raised poorly...

  • I wanted to unbalance the like/dislike bar, but i dont know which one to pick!

  • the game doesn't just change you, it takes an already fucked up person to kill over a video game

  • @StrykerFarAwayIn707 i totally agree with it's not the damn game it's the person who was already fucked up

  • stupid, killing over a frekin video game?!!!

  • who closes their eyes when they are told someone has a surprise for them, thats fishy right there

  • Halo sucks balls

  • I play cod up to 18 hours a day and i will never shoot my mum and dad WTF was he thinking

  • Herrreee we go... watch the soccer moms blame it on the video games

  • The only good out of any of this is how loving and caring of a man this kids father is. Fuck the kid he deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life. His father forgives him for his in humane crime to the one person he loves more than anyone his wife and to me and to anyone that should show how strong of a human being he is as a father, husband, and MAN.

  • apparently we're all going to die in three days, because I was playing Majora's Mask.

  • I like it when shit like this happens and video games get blamed, its a good fucking show, thats one stupid kid btw lol

  • 1:04 thats what she said

  • This is stupid, Video games have no irregular affect on normal functioning people. I play a few games of MW3 a day and i'm starting college and the police academy next year.

  • @TheUSpatriot45 18H A DAY!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I'm gonna do it I'm gonna like the unveness will destroy the minds of all!

  • Poor Kid... Poor Mum... Poor Dad... all over that shitty game to.

  • every body stop playing halo im so glad i dont!

  • If i was that kid i would have just stole money from my mum or dad and buy a new one. who kills their parents who probably bought the game for him.

    Now the only game he will be playing is QUEST FOR BOOTY.

  • Fuck niggers

  • Comment removed

  • 23 years in jail? What the fuck he murdered his own mother! This faggot should get life or execution

  • LOL! I laugh at the media. They're trying to demonize and blame video games for the murder. A murderer is a murderer, if he was craving cookies, he would have killed for them too

  • BLAME IT ON THE GAME WHY DONT YOU

  • well no games for him

  • Oh you will get to play "dodge the rapist" in prison.

  • Nobody is saying Halo's content made him a killer. The video game addiction did, or at least, that's the argument. No need to compare it to other games.

  • dislike 207 bitches.

  • LOCK THAT CHILD UP!!!

  • oh come on, repeat after me VIDEO GAMES DO NOT MAKE YOU DO THIS. for fuck sakes mister expert lonely child that has never played a video game ever before, tell me this, i have played video games all my life and i have never had the urge to even punch someone before, even if that person was that asshole who used to bully me, now stop using games a fucking excuse for murders

  • Dumb Piece of shit he should have a young painful death , how dare you kill your mother over a fucking GAME

  • ....wtf....

  • what a little cunt 

  • I bet he cant wait to get through his sentence so he can play Halo 23

  • If a mad person plays a game, they will do the same as they do in the game.

    If a mad person see people killing on in a movie, they will do the same.

    I don't know why people blame games for all of this. The blame lies with the person that committed the crime

  • If video games were to blame. There would be thousands of teenage murderers killing everyone GTA style.

  • damn this kid is fucked up if he did something like that

  • Did he in turn t-bag his parents after the shooting?

  • i play call of duty and modern combat on my iphone and i dont feel like somebody even after i play for a long time

  • I just put 61 hours (no shit) into my pre-ordered game, Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning game, and i'm not going to randomly murder everyone on the sidewalks with a fucking warhammer.

  • the like/dislike bar is like a yin yang, a balance in power.

  • does this mean if i play monopoly I become rich?

  • @RyansMusic17 Haha nice comment.

  • @RyansMusic17 Well if you think about it, if you played monopoly eighteen hours a day it is possible that you would learn applicable business skills. It isn't the video game that made him kill his parents, it was his obsession.

  • @RyansMusic17 No, this means if you play Candyland you stick gumdrops up your ass.

  • I love how they don't even mention the fact that a gun was just laying around the house..."This kid played a lot of video games and when they took it away he went to look for it but happened to find a gun. Well shucks, guess thats better than the game but oh no he used the gun to kill his mother? Obviously that was the games fault. Not the gun. Phew, glad we settled that in a court of law cause I was worried we would misread the situation."

  • halo ur shittin me look at fuckin gta or manhunt dats fukn farce jesus

  • Never mind Halo 3, the next game he will be playing is Jailo 4: Prison Bitch.

  • WHAT A GEEK

  • One thing that for sure, is video games didnt do this....This kid is just messed up in the head. Either that, or (i hate to say this) the kid wasnt brought up right. However, its was probably just the first one.

  • 1 thing I gotta know is....what is a reverend doing with a handgun? I thought the supposed lord almighty will save him from any troubles? Why wasn't the gun locked up? The owner of the gun which I believe to be the father should be charged for something as well...not sure how Americans gun laws are but I doubt they can just have guns lying around the house...

  • @XxJackshowxX The lord cant alter the trajectory of a bullet. If somebody breaks into your house with a gun, your going to wish you had a gun. In America, we have the right to bear arms. This means we can carry guns with a permit, and we can have guns in our house for protection. Its the parents that need to let the kids know that they should not touch or handle the guns. If they had a gun lying around the house where it was accessible its, the parent's fault, but they shouldn't be charged.

  • @Bassfisherkid14 Lol dont take the religious joke literally. I have guns at my house, but I dont leave them lying around my house like an idiot, they're locked up but I still have quick access, doesn't take long to put a key in a lock and open it then load shells, especially if you have a sufficient dead bolt on your front door. And if a kid should kill someone with their parents gun that they left lying around irresponsibly they should be charged...something called negligence.

  • THE ONLY HALO ULL BE PLAYIN IS THE ONE WHERE BIG DADDY.....U KNO IM NOT GUNA FINISH THAT

  • umadbro?

  • Halo is a seriously fucked up game its the idiots that play any games fault if they take the information wrong its just simple look at how dumbassed people are all cause of their misuse and abuse and naive nature towards all this shit...

  • lol one less faggot on xbl

  • X-Box fan-boy got owned! LOL

  • what a rager.

  • OH YEAH THE VIDEO GAME TAUGHT HIM HOW TO KILL HIS PARENTS

    HURRRRRRR DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • Gentlemen please!

    I think we all agree that skyrim is the most mind twisting game for us! ban it be before someone takes an arrow in the knee and ends as a guard.

    Time 24h and the only job in all the world is guard duty! IT'S SERIOUS!!!!

  • Dudes mom was hot

  • Comment removed

  • what a dumb fucking cracker!!!!! Shoots his parents over a dumb video game. DUMB CRACKER!!! BAHAHAHAHA

  • wow..all that over halo.. and halo sucks

  • One time, when I was little, my mom took my slinky away and I waterboarded the bitch.

  • only 23WTF you kill someone you should be killed yourself

  • Man, some kids have NO LIFE. Video games don't always cause things like this, but that didn't stop me from quitting when I was 13.

  • DOUBLE KILL!

  • Tired of vids being used as a scapegoat for idiots like this kid. Comparing a so called "video game addiction" to a drug or alcohol addiction is LAUGHABLE! The withdrawal from vids must be hellish lol! Like the great bob saget once said, "did you ever suck dick for a video game?" Well that's not exactly what he said, but you get the point.

  • ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED!

  • "Found a gun"...? LOL.

  • @cyphercomplete lol, only in america!

  • its to bad hes missin out on halo wars

  • That psycho should never leave the prison for he kills someone else.

  • HE SHOULD STAY IN FOR LIFE WHAT THE FUCK !!!!!

  • 23 years thats not that bad, for that, i hope the prisnors are chill, maybe now he can focus on spirutality

  • he just wanted to level up 1 more time;(

  • When he gets out halo 19 is going to be released lol

  • this guy is a looser a dumfuck n his dad is the devil for forgiven him his son needs help ! satan has him

  • He's crying because he won't be able to play Halo in prison.

  • To start off with, who plays 18 hours a day.?

    Second what the fuck he killed someone over a Halo game, who does shit like that?

    Third of all i hope he gets wooped daily in jail and rapped!

    And for the "Cool Kids" that play Modern Warfare 3, just know that if your mom picks up your game she means u play alot, dont kill her.

  • @Vazquez199Five AMEN

  • This is fucking stupid, 18hours a day, now thats someone that doesnt have a life, i play games but like for 1 or 1/2 hour, killing your mom over a mf Halo game. Thats just not right, i hope he gets raped in their.!

  • What a loser. Who the fuck kills someone over a fucking video game?

  • Oh great. as if Video Games didn't have enough heat to deal with. I bet Jack Thompson is sitting at his home right now saying " I told you so". fucking people

  • halo nerd. play a real game

  • BULLSHIT! This is just another fucked up guy in this world that could kill, but just so happens he was playing a damn video game. Halo isn't even that bad. Look at fuckin saints row!

  • @PoGoMyFlApPyStIcK no its real this kid got like paralyzed or something so his parents bought him an xbox 360 aand he was addicted and his parents took his games away from him and he took his dads gun and shot both of his parents. its real

  • @TheArtisticDesigner I know it's real, but the press is what i'm talking about. Just because this fucking murderer was into video games, means it's video game's fault?That's what i meant.

  • @PoGoMyFlApPyStIcK dude Halo's not that bad, true but mw2/3 or bf3 are far more violent than that game

  • @Yinyangz540 Nope, it's just war. Saints raw has people being beaten to death with a giant dildo bat. To have a gang based game with maximum brutality and everything else, it clearly blows a war game out of the water. The only thing i see setting people off from MW3 etc. is someone who has been in war.

  • I hope he took lot's of lube to jail... lol

  • People are seriously addicted to video games it is a mental disorder

  • 18 hours a day? Holy shit... No wonder he went fucking crazy, that doesn't even leave 8 hours for sleep. Bet you this would never have happened if he just got a job, and moderated his gametime.

    If anything drove him nuts, it was the sleep deprivation imo.

  • I pity the young man because he will forever have his mother's death on his conscience. His father is a real decent guy (a REAL Christian), who loves his son unconditionally. I never had such a dad as that, and it makes me doubt that the son was held to a higher moral standard, and that this contributed to his "acting out." He was human. He was exposed (day in and day out) to something that programmed his imperfect brain toward violence. It could have just as easily been drugs or gang influence.

  • Anything can be addictive, especially when it involves a "high" or a thrill. In this case, a game where the player shoots harmless bullets into virtual images is interpreted by the brain as a real experience (proved by the adrenaline rush which causes the heart to beat faster). The more a person's brain is exposed to this "virtual" reality, the more he is being programmed to act similarly in the real world (Even his dreams are about killing). In life, we become what we yield our minds to.

  • Achievement Unlocked: Go to jail

  • In prison his going to get raped and beaten for killing his own mother for not letting play his pussy as xbox.

  • i hope they rape the shit out of him

    Pathetic cunt

  • neva touch a man's xbox

  • The most fucked up kid you will ever meet usually is a ministers son. They are held up to a moral standard from day one that is unattainable. So often times they have a primal urge to rebel. Maybe the video game played into it a little and there is no excuse to end an innocent human life, but what it all boils down to is that an Individual is responsible for his own frame of mind and his own actions, everybody makes themselves a victim of something or someone else in America.

  • Sorry, but I don't see it, Momentary sorrow will do nothing to prevent him from doing this again when he gets angry.

  • shoulda got that prick a Playstation

  • Halo is not a violent video game. And please don't blame games but the user.

  • if this was a black guy, I'd be seeing such racist comments. Fuck this world seriously

  • 23Years? FUCK THAT! Too bad he wasn't black.

  • @TheNiteowll HAHAHA!

  • this psycho kills his mom and only gets 23 years.... SPM got sentenced to 45 years on a case with no evidence, cause some girl claimed she was underaged 10 years prior(when they messed around). The law can be funny at times.

  • i have a lot of respect and admiration for his dad.

  • Anyone who murders over a video game is psychologically disturbed in the first place. It has nothing to do with the game itself.

  • did he ever find the game?

  • It had to be over one of my favourite games, hadn't it?

  • 18 hours a day?! holy crap........ kid doesn't have a life 

  • @chuoisu LOL. Kids have a life? LOL Yeah sure it's called sitting in front of the tv all day playing video games, getting high, and having sex. That's life for kids these days. Sad huh. Blame the parents.

  • I would own him in Halo

  • @tommyohang dude i doubt it,i mean cmon he played 18 hours a day!!!!

  • wow 18 hours a day.. thats bull crap

  • why cant americans say the word "mom" properly

    they always say "mam"

  • @AfrikaaBombeetza America is made up by a very diverse group! Where I live everybody says "mom". It's like "soda" in different regions. They pronounce it "sodapop", "coke", "softdrink", and "soda" in different parts of the country.

  • @AfrikaaBombeetza Americans don't speak proper English. The proper way is "MUM," not "MOM." 

  • Ok guys, statistically, it would take 1,000,000 shootings to make up for 1 PERCENT of people who play video games. Im sick of people thinking that video games have bad affects

  • @RDmLabel Then you must be pretty addicted.

  • @RDmLabel nueroscience says otherwise. but i understand what your syaing though.. he treated the game like crack playin it for 18 hours a day then he was starting to feend and took out the problem..smh so sad.

  • @RDmLabel Not everyone who plays violent video games will end up killing someone, but it's undeniable that watching violence makes people more likely to become violent than if they didn't watch such things. Read up on the longitudinal studies involving randomized samples of people who grew up watching violence vs those who didn't. The effects are clear.

    That being said, I was in a couple of fights myself growing up and i play violent video games, but i haven't killed anyone...yet.

  • What a fuckin physco ass nerd

  • how can u dislike this? i play xbox but im not addicted but some people can and honestly if a game means that much to you, then you need help

  • @EmersonSkills23 sorry i mean how can u do this*

  • that is a psycopath, the fact that he played videogame is a coincidence, he claimed he was a videogame addict just to reduce his sentence.

  • Why not just blame the air he breath for killing his mom.

  • I believe that playing seriously violent games for days on end can trigger temper outbursts (when the player gets killed too many times) but thats no reason to go to such an extreme as to get a gun and kill your own mother who obviously recognised those temper outbursts and tried to stop them by removing the game from him in order to keep the peace. 23yrs was not enough time in my opinion.

  • @Supportahol That's also highly dependent on who plays the video game. People with addictive personalities could feel these effects and may have outbursts of anger and/or angst. Many people stop playing video games due to them being annoyed. That is a reason why Halo: Reach isn't currently doing so well (about 100k players a day, compared to MW3 which has well over 700k), and why CoD: World at War suffered for the same reason.

    This kid probably had angst and rage stored from another output.

  • @moocow6699 A very strong and valid point you made there moocow. Even though i play all these kinds of games myself... i have a feeling some of them can trigger dorment anger which may already be inside the one who eventually commits the crime. Its a pity really is'nt it.

  • yea when you get out! point that 9 180

  • And he ate lots of Twinkies.

  • Oh an by the way anyone addicted to anything will do what it takes to get it or get revenge on what takes it away from them. Simple human psychology. I am good at this stuff. I know. Had nothing to do with the fact of it being a video game an it being violent. He was addicted to an object like a crack abuser is addicted to crack lol he had a mental break down an tried a permanent, quick solution to a temporary problem.... He lost his mind for the moment, I guess you could say.

  • Ok let's get this fucking thing straight. I'm 16 an this mother fucker looks about 18-19 years old. If my mom took my shit away I would have told that bitch to give the shit back an yanked it out of her fucking hand! Not shoot her you moron! You can't play HALO in prison dummy! No but seriously anyone in their right state of mind won't kill over a game no matter how violent it is..... Only people who have mental defects would attempt anything so big over something virtual.

  • @TBKSLyCooPeR ................

  • @TheRaizenLegend Everything I said has a valid point behind it. Don't know why you just leave a comment saying, "..............." I would rather you call me hateful names then leave a response like that...

  • @TBKSLyCooPeR idk i got tired of trollin on yt so i didn't had anything left 0.o
