The media will yet again link video games with violence. The kid must have mental illnesses.

Sad story, but that is what happens when you keep guns in your home...

That's messed up. But just goes to show what happens when you keep guns in the house.

Sad story. The lad clearly needs help and as already stated, this is what happens (or appears to happen) when you keep guns at home!!

TwoSaints · 16 Dec 2008 at 12:20

This could have happend with the lad bringing anything home and having it taken off him, too much ephasis has been put on it being halo 3, as if that makes a difference!

Daniel Petric was so angry that his father would not allow him to play the violent video game Halo 3

but how did the kid get the gun in the first place tbh

The father locked the game away in a box which also had a gun in it!

He had knowledge of evil, sick, violent games which allowed him to summon one up with his twisted mind.
It had nothing to do with guns being in the household.

This is purely the fault of the games industry, I am sickened that Jack Thompson wont be able to fight the case to ban all computer games.

Yes! Ban all video games. I murdered 17 people just the other day after I played Animal Crossing.

I viciously mutilated a carrot into multiple slices after playing Cooking Mama the other day.

If i had guns i certainly wouldnt go shooting my parents over something like he did :/.

ShakenNstirred · 16 Dec 2008 at 13:26

well they cant blame halo 3
as he didnt get to play it before they took it of him

Johnz0r · 16 Dec 2008 at 14:11

How is Halo 3 violent? Boils my proverbial when the media portrays games to be something far worse than they actually are. Christ, most TV shows have more violent content than games these days, but nothing hardly ever gets said against those.
