A kid gets mad because he gets carded so he shoots and kills two people. He won't have to worry about being carded where he's going. Articles like these cause me to worry more and more about where we are going as a modern society.

The left is a selfish bunch and they are teaching the young to be just like them.

I listened to a (black) father being interview on NPR about growing up. He made the following statement about himself and his 16 year old son:
"When I was 16, I wasn't afraid to die. Now, at the same age, my son isn't afraid to kill."
That scared me, because this affects not just the black community. It seems most kids, especially those who play the first shooter video games, are as callous as can be. The programming by electronic media appears almost complete, and the soul of our last generation has been removed...

OMG, I used to know a couple of Hookfins from New Orleans. An uncle and his nephew. Nicest people you’d ever want to meet. I wonder...

Well, I shot a man
in Reno. Just to watch him
die. TV was out . . .

"It seems most kids, especially those who play the first shooter video games, are as callous as can be.

I think maybe violent videos coupled with the breakdown of the American family is a recipe for trouble. My nephew was allowed to play any game of his choice, and some were pretty violent! Yet he was the product of a strong, loving home..and is now in the process of becoming a Firefighter. :)
Sad situation over there in New Orleans.

There is something to be said about how callous kids as a whole are getting. I bought the original ‘Night of the Living Dead’ for a buck at the dollar tree. My two young kids (about 7 and 10 at the time)wanted to see it even though I warned them it was scary. They watched it without batting an eye. I was about 16 the first time I saw it and it scared me good. Gave me lots of nightmares.

All he wanted was a shot. Give the relatives of his vics AK-47s and give him all the shots they think he sould have. Case closed and jsutices will cost less than $100 given the price of ammo for the AK!

Can you or anyone here clue me in to how many household and for how many years have these video games in them as part of a regular activity?
We do interactive family things not because we are non playstation snobs just.
Just different family interests that never included vid games.
Well I take that back somewhat.
We do enjoy the 1 cent interactive arm bandits that are now at the local Indian Casino so I guess we do play video games on occasion.

"St. Bernard Police said Hookfin is from New Orleans but has been living in St. Bernard Parish periodically since before Hurricane Katrina, after his mother was shot and wounded by his father who is now in prison. Hookfin only has minor arrests in his past, police said"
Nice family he has. A lot of scum from Orleans have been coming to St. Bernard and screwing it up. They are trying to do it to my community too.
BTW I could not get your link to work but I did find this at the site it took me to.

Thanks. The Hookfins I knew were black, too. Can’t say I see any family resemblance though, not that that means much.

I would not have considered the society John Wesley Hardin lived in as modern. It seems that as we progress we should be hearing less about these kinds tragedies instead of more about them. Maybe we are going backwards. Or the inmates are running the asylum. History shows that society's modernize and fail. It looks like we are failing.
