PHOENIX — A Mesa teenager says he fatally shot his father last month because he wouldn't let him use the Internet, police reports show.

According to a Mesa police report released Wednesday, 15-year-old Hughstan Schlicker told a homicide detective that he considered committing suicide in front of his father after finding a 12-gauge shotgun and ammunition in the garage of their home, but decided to murder his father instead and then commit suicide.

Hughstan apparently surprised 49-year-old Ted Schlicker, who was standing in the kitchen when the boy approached him from behind, the police report said.

So it really is Al Gores Fault he invented the damm thing lets bring him up on charges

I’m betting he doesn’t get a lot of internet time in the can.

I’m betting he doesn’t get a lot of internet time in the can.

I'm betting he's back on the street ruining other people's lives in three years or less.

Well, it was for something important, after all.

Who’s willing to bet he didn’t have any friends and actually spent time on myspace cyberstalking girls?

Hughstan told detectives that he used the Internet to communicate with his friends and since his father took the Internet away, he was "just so depressed all the time," the report said.

And killing his father sure solved that problem! He must feel all perky now, what with all MySpace all the time...

When they handed out stupid pills, this kid gulped down the whole bottle case pallet.

Hughstan Schlicker

Are they sure the shooting wasn't revenge for his name?

This is for naming me, Hughstan!

[linn37]

That crossed my mind too.

[Bender2]

If the kid pleads he is a Liberal Democrat... and his dead father was a Conservative Republican, he may beat the rap!

[I still care]

My first thought.

“I’m the Son of a B that named you Hughstan Schlicker!”

Frankly, with a name like that, the kid probably started life with a bunch of issues.

Hey, Taz! :-)

“I’m betting he doesn’t get a lot of internet time in the can.”

The lowlife scum get free, high-speed internet access.

[6SJ7]

Hughstan, we have a problem.

[LasVegasMac]

I'm betting he's back on the street ruining other people's lives in three years or less.

First Degree - fry the little bastard.

[sport]

I suppose that is a good of a reason as any. The kid , according to the socil scientists,was a victim and is not responsible for his actions.

In a just world the pos would be taken out to the nearest tree and hung.

Hughstan Schlicker?

It sounds like a type of VD a guy could catch in Eastern Europe!

[aruanan]

Given his photo, MySpace was probably the only place where he could pretend that he was a good-looking normal guy.

[aruanan]

Actually, I think that MySpace and such things should be illegal for anyone under 18. The kind of crap that I have seen as a result of MySpace is staggering.
