Teen shot parents over Halo 3, killing his mom

[SimpleS14]

Daniel Petric killed mother, shot father because they took Halo 3 video game, prosecutors say - Metro - cleveland.com (http://blog.cleveland.com/metro/2008/12/boy_killed_mom_and_shot_dad_ov.html)


wow...I can't believe this. That teen should be tried as an adult, and he definitely has some mental issues.

[driftking777]

Funny when they say video games are bad for children, as they seem to persuade kids to think certain things are ok. (similar to the whole GTA B.S.)

And it seems weird to me that i came out ok? I mean damn, ive been an avid gamer since regular nintendo and Amega's.....

....I think people should teach there kids better of whats right, wrong, real and not. Seems to be a big issue now adays with the younger generation. Or maybe its just me thinking that.

[CrimsonRockett]

Killed his mom and almost killed his dad over a stupid game.

He SHOULD be tried as an adult.

He knew exactly what he was doing.

Sorry doesn't cut it.

[blueshark123]

I blame both the parents and kid. I think parents need to let their kids have fun why would u take the game away from him in the first place now he will want it even more now. Same goes for liquor i had friend whos parents never let her drink 1 drop of liquor and as soon as she went to college she began to drink everyday. That doesnt mean the kid should have shot his parents thats just retarted. To each their own

100% agree.. The kid looks like a fucking douche bag.. He needs to have the book not just thrown at him, it needs to be shoved up his ass..

[stiizy]

About a month later, on Oct. 20, 2007, Daniel used his father's key to open the lockbox and remove the gun and the game. The boy shot his parents, killing his mother and gravely wounding his father. As his father lay wounded, Daniel tried to place the gun in his father's hand.

this fucker knew what he was doing i hope they give his ass life fuck that...

But the trail will be in his favor if he can prove that he was in that SB accident and it affected his spine and brain somehow...

[water]

Damn what a douche bag.

[s13silady]

wow.. what was he thinking. he knew exactly what he was doing.

I mean come on. "i have a surprise for you"... sounds like something a KILLER would say..

what a fucking moron.

[legacy927]

f-ing douche. I agree with Stiizy. He knows what exactly he was doing. He even tried to make it look like his father did it...

They should put him to jail for life. and while at it, they should shove the halo 3 and the xbox up his ass...

BUBBA is gona have a surprise for him too...

[Dark_Undead]

What a retarded stupid boy!

[Future240]

Well time for the media to lash out at video games yet again. Jack thompson is goin to be all over this

It's going to be 1995 all over again.

For those that remember the MK days.

Please don't be a parent

[dirtdiggler666]

i blame the parrents

im sure they are fucked up also and should not breed:boink:

[Sleepy240]

He should definetly be tried as an adult without a doubt... its sad that this is what things come to nowadays. You can't even discipline a child anymore with shit like this going on. I would just get a smack upside the head or on the ass, nowadays thats abuse. Now you take their possessions and the child just lashes out, does stupid things (this is pretty extreme mind you) and thinks its ok. The problem isnt so much the kids, or the video games, or even the parents for that matter its society

Parents organizing mobs, and have a general fit over MK as if it was satan's gift to kids.

[Tearlessj]

Yea that kid is fucked in the head. I can imagine his parents being very strict on the kid, his dad being a minister and all. Maybe thats what caused him to lose it.

[blueshark123]

Racist remark removed.

[drift freaq]

Racist remark removed

Ah excuse me but thats a pretty damn ignorant and racist statement. You seriously have some issues yourself and are not fit to be parent based on your statements above.

It's okay guys relax......


Blue is a good guy just got angry it's cool...


Stay on topic....

[BustedS13]

that's why i play call of duty instead

[Antihero983]

I agree with DriftFreaq...that was pretty fucking ignorant BlueShark.

and as for the idiot in the new story, I cannot even begin to FATHOM what was going through his head when he did that. That shit is unforgivable.

Death Penalty. Nao.

Or better yet, send him away for life, and whoever makes him their bitch can call him PWNT.

[blueshark123]

[illxs14]

[Matej]

[stiizy]

Everyone is entitled to a shitty day bro, jus keep cool man......

This kid should get some kind of severe punishment though...

life not the needle so he can live with his stupidness

[CrimsonRockett]

Blue is a good guy just got angry it's cool...


That's cool and all, but it doesn't give anybody the right to make ignorant and/or racist remarks.

[HyperTek]

thats sad.. nothing wrong with video games.. its the dam video game media perspective that makes them soo "must have" and "cant live without" in this day and age.. I bet his peers where always talking about it "dude you gotta play it" etc..

Cant fully blame the parents imo, they took the game away from his bitchass. He was jus a bad seed. BUt they probably locked it up where they keep the gun.. kid was probably looking for the game, and found the gun with it and thought he would hold onto it incase they mess with him for having the game.

WHen i was a younger teen, i used to have my games taken away from me.. but by his age i was doing good that they never got taken from me, i jus didnt have money for buying my own games lol.

[2Slow40]

Violent video games do not create violent/crazy people.
Violent/crazy people are attracted to violent video games.

You can't be surprised that all these violent people are interested in violent media. The movie or game isn't making them violent, they're already got some problems in their head to start with.

Anyways, this whole 'evil video games' thing will be over soon. As soon as the next generation who has grown up with video games full steps in, it'll be over. With video games being so mainstream now, you can tell the older generation is on their way out.

Look at comics. Comics used to be what video games are now. All the older people thought it was super evil and corrupting the youth. As soon as that youth became old enough to take the positions their parents once held, evil comic syndrome vanished.

Same thing with rock music and wrestling.

I wonder what the next evil will be?

video games -> rock -> comics -> books -> dancing

[TUnity2]

THey probably took away as a punishment, I am sure the kid was a bad ass.

I agree with everyone, the kid should get reamed, like GOATSE reamed.

They hating, patrolling, trying to catch me dancing dirty.

[azndoc]

Nah I could understand why the father wanted his son free.

I would too.

So I could choked the motherfucker to death with my own bare hands.

oh snap.

[Matej]

This incident makes no sense. I thought legal guns only save people's lives. I don't know who to believe anymore.

[theronin]

HEADSHOT!!!!



too soon?

[treken2t87]

HEADSHOT!!!!



too soon?
Nah, it's never to soon to belittle tragic events in which innocent lives are lost :goyou:

[drftmark]

HEADSHOT!!!!



too soon?

Ya thats fucked up.

Just looking at that kid makes me want to hurt him... whoops ive been playing to many video games.

[mrflip69]

So it's true... mostly douches play halo :keke:

As usual there's the blame parents, blame child, and blame the videogame, and blame society crowds... blah!

You guys catch the part where the dad is a minister?

And LOL @ the dude saying they shouldn't have taken the game away... yeah parents should be afraid to discipline their own kids or else they might end up dead :rolleyes:

If they raised him with any sense of knowing what privileges are, maybe he wouldn't have gone mental when they took it away. The guy is a minister no less. I'm not saying the parents should get all the blame--obviously this monster pulled the trigger on his own.

But society? Get real... plenty of people play Halo without shooting their parents. Plenty of people also have guns and use them responsibly. I don't recall anybody playing MK and trying "fatalities" out with their friends LOL!

Anybody read Penny Arcade?

ronin: never too soon :p

[alindeman1989]

holly shit hes stupid. if he got the key to the lock box why didnt he just take the game out.

[SimpleS14]

Anyone wonder what a minister was doing with a gun?

I do have to blame parenting and the culture/society this kid grew up in. Spears of influence from all areas, but his actions are not excusable.

The same thing everyone else with a gun, living up to his 2nd amendment rights. Just because he is a preacher doesnt mean he cant protect his family

[allntrlundrgrnd]

what a pile of shit. that kid looks like a fuckup


theronin i find it hard to beleive your 28:squint:

[Farzam]

Kid needs to get his priorities straight

[raz0rbladez909]

Damn did any of you read the damn thing?? They took the game away after he was told not buy it in the first place because his father felt it was too violent for him to be playing. The answers you seek can be found if you do something so simple as read.:duh:

[Charlie]

Wow that guy has issues, shooting his parents over Halo....

[CrazyTrance]

Thats fucking rediculous

[k2daalvin]

i play halo 3... its fun as hell.."to each is own".. i wouldnt murder my parents because i couldnt play a video game though.. id do it for the sheer adrenaline rush and personal revenue....

[JRas]

note to parents, don't take your sons video games away :P

[lolatclint]

fuck that shit. kill his ass. fuckin retard

[ryguy]

This was my favorite clip from the article, about why his dad didnt want him to play the game.
His father forbade the games, saying that were too violent and sexually explicit.
All that hot master chief-on-covenant action.

Really though, that says to me that the parents weren't involved enough with the kid to know why exactly they were even banning the game. I'm not saying the kid should be cut any slack, I'm just saying the parents were probably unreasonably strict for no reason. On the other hand, the kid obviously didnt have a job if he was playing Halo for 16 hours a day.

[thesimpleS13]

wow all that for a game...it's soo retarded how parents let their kids lives taken over by video games. Then again, it's sad how the kids let themselves get taken over by games like that. I couldn't imagine.

[S13_Nightkid]

Over halo 3?? Shit man this is one of the reasons i don't get on xbox live anymore...too many retarded kids and douchebags on there.

And this kid had to have some mental unstability. Have some medication or some shit because there is no way that someone would think "Let me kill my family because i can't have my game, then i can get back online and get my 3-kill streak in a quick match of slayer!"

smh..
