Boy, 16, 'attacks mother with claw hammer . . . ' because she took away his Playstation
Daily Mail ^ | February 18, 2011

A 16-year-old son has allegedly confessed to killing his mother because she took away his Playstation games console.

Kendall Anderson attacked his mother Rashida with a claw hammer while she slept, bludgeoning her 20 times, police say.

When the hammer attack didn't kill her, the South Philadelphia teenager dragged the 37-year-old downstairs and tried to 'cremate her' in the kitchen oven, according to a court report in the Philadelphia Inquirer. When that failed, he grabbed a chair leg and beat her around the head, before dumping her body in an alley behind the house, it is claimed.

'The victim's body was found under debris,' a police source told MailOnline. 'She had suffered a blunt trauma to the head.'

A level of stupidity and incompetence rarely encountered in everyday life.

If this kid doesn’t get the death penalty, he will definitely receive Jailhouse justice. Killing you mom is a no-no in the pen.

It won't. The US Supreme Court, in its infinite wisdom, ruled that it is "unconstitutional" to execute minors.

the South Philadelphia

One of the shining jewels of multiculturalism - paid for by the hard working taxpayers.

A 16-year-old son has allegedly confessed to killing his mother because she took away his Playstation games console

Here we have an example of the entitlement mentality. He be'd entitled to that playstation, and murdered his mother when she diminished his entitlement. This is merely a reflection of the sense of entitlement that runs bone deep in places like South Philly. I'm getting sick of paying losers to spawn out parasites - thank you FDR, LBJ and the Democrats for changing the the USA into a socialist welfare state

Poor kid. We need to show him some sympathy. After-all, now he is an orphan. Besides, until a child is 18 he doesn't know what he is doing. Give him probation. He has suffered enough.

Please note that an Amish youth would not have been allowed to have the Playstation to begin with.

"Here we have an example of the entitlement mentality."

Keep this entitlement mentality in mind if you live in or anywhere near a big city. At some point in the future the proverbial fecal matter will hit the oscillating device - and then anyone who has ANYTHING of value (food, water, medicine, booze, TVs, women between the ages of 9 and 90, etc.) will find out just how entitled those who live near them really feel. Heaven forbid that they should work for what they have, but I guess that it is just so much easier to have someone else work for you, whether its a parent, relative or just the taxpayer and his/her kids and grandkids.

I suggest an investment in copper-plated lead and tubular steel for those that don't have any, and further investments by those that do - because the list of the "entitled" is growing daily. As Wisconsin shows, it isn't just the spoiled 16-year-olds that are the problem.

And there are lots more like him who will be spilling out into the streets and roaming countryside when the welfare checks stop.

Lock and load.

This is a UK article, he’ll probably be back out on the street when he turns 18, maybe they’ll keep him till he’s 21. Then he’ll spend the rest of his life on the dole.
