Boy, 8, 'intentionally shot his 87-year-old grandmother in the back of the head after playing violent video game Grand Theft Auto then tried to claim her death was an accident'
Yeah a back to the head shot is usually a accident! What a bunch of BS. where was the gun to begin with?
Yieks. Not a good week for the over 80’s crowd. FREEPERS over 80 please stay safe.
No correlation. Just a coincidence.
So, how many points did he get for the shooting?
I guess I made the right decision not to allow my gaming son to play any mature games until he was 17. Now that I think of it, with him being a strong-willed child, I wonder how I won that battle year after year. Even at 18 it was only zombies and aliens he could take out. Now that he’s been to Afghanistan he won’t play the games.
The perverse bright side is this wasn’t another black-on-white hate murder.
Poor Grandmother...made it to 87 only to be killed by your own grandson. At least it was mercifully instantaneous.
We didn’t allow GTA in our house...in fact, no video game at all until our youngest was 18 and going away to college.
At 8 years old I knew not to shoot someone in the back of the head.
In my day the evil games were “Mortal Kombat” and “Lethal Enforcers.” Later it was Doom and Wolfenstein. I wouldn’t let an 8 year play those either.
I think I already owned at least one gun by the time I was 8.
They have been ordered to appear in 20th Judicial District Court on Monday,
Also, they are looking for a babysitter while they are in court, if anyone is interested.
There's the key........
I am no fan of video games for children, period!
The declaration means nothing. It is the standard thing that is said after every racially motivated murder if the perp is darker than the victim. It is actually a recorded message that plays automatically in every such circumstance.
Sorry. Wrong thread.
