Tyler Wolfegang Savage.
Such a great name.

Lord of the Rings Online is going free-to-play this fall. So excited. :)

[theronin]

oh, it's this again? parents fault. i mean, look at the dude. he just screams disturbed.

[fliprayzin240sx]

So if I go around bashing people in the face with a baseball bat...I should go sue Rockstar North for making Grand Theft Auto.

[roboticnissan]

They aren't blaming the game SNIP. Read the entire article. There are weirded out how he plays the game to forget about what he did.

The way shedied has nothing in common with the game and neither is rape.

How he looks explains it all haha

[r0me0ne]

^+1 hahaha. What the hells he wearing.

[heavenboundkevin]

im sure you guys have seen the pic that says

"if video games really influence people, we would all be listening to repetative techno music, in a dark room, swallowing pills"

pac-man, duh.

[FaLKoN240]

It's a bulletproof vest. It's a fucking court or police station, not a god damn fashion show.

[shiftdrift]

it's not normal to have sexy time with dead corpse's.........?

[HyperTek]

looks like the guy my cousin got with, they got 3 kids and just last night he had his friends over playing Magic the Gathering and she said all his friends are single lmao.

[TravisSW]

Either the guy himself is disturbed or bad parenting.

I've been playing violent video games since 8 years old. Started with Wolfenstien 3d and Doom and I have yet to assault anybody (unless attacked or severely provoked) or do sick shit to them.

I don't like to kill, I like to rape.....
....
what?


lol jk

I've also seen a lot of other kids who have more violent video games now then when I was young and they talk about it a lot, but I haven't heard of any one of them killing or hurting anybody.

Yeah there is an exception, but those are the ones we heard on the news. So out of thousand and thousands of people who play video games, there isn't even a full 1% of those people who do harmful things because of video games.

think video games have any effect on people that turn them violent out of the blue ?

No. /thread





Every time I see this question I think of some neanderthal mother blaming all the bad things happening in the world around her on those damn modern humans and their cave paintings.

[bb4_96]

^ agreed.....

[ayuaddict]

Savage said he stripped her of her clothes, carried her into a patch of brambles, and put her bicycle on top of her

Bicycles are at fault for this crime.

but seriously, I LOL'ed when i read he put a bicycle on top of her. WTF dude?

[Rockda240]

Yo I read this in the paper tuesday and if the guy really did molest the disabled 16 year old he should either rot in a central american prison or the death penalty.

[BURSTspeed]

I think this guy might have some mental issues.

[Mi Beardo es Loco]

^+1 hahaha. What the hells he wearing.
wow. that's a level 90 wizard vest. impressive.

[aziankingz]

well thats probably the first and last girl he will ever get in his life..

[ayuaddict]

Kinda sucks she was like dead and stuff.

I hope he brought lube.

[angelus erratus]

The articles does not even place blame on the game, and if they are looking at it that way, they sure are not getting that point across. The person was fucked up before he ever played a video game, it may have been a previous experience, or genetics.

[Kaizen.]

Bicycles are at fault for this crime.

but seriously, I LOL'ed when i read he put a bicycle on top of her. WTF dude?

i just realized the bicycle part lol! like it was his master plan of trying to hide it.

how did he get caught?

[Otto347]

Take this dude out back and put a bullet in his head. Problem fucking solved. Lets not take years and tons of $$$$ trying to find out "why" he did this. He did it, he was caught, he confesed, GAME THE FUCK OVER.

[Kaizen.]

^^lmao i like your style. checkmate

[tricky_ab]

It's easy to blame something (Media) that can't defend itself. Please that's the worst defense excuse I've heard. I hope they don't end up wasting tax payers money by dragging this to a lengthy trial.

[xiaphin]

I blame Kid Rock...
