A kid from Chile murders his older brother for who gets to use the Playstation.

Okay the kids clearly disturbed. God knows I've been tempted to but I would never do it. Worst part is that the media is gonna have a field day blaming this all on video games. Tsk.
There are so many cases like this popping up nowadays. I hate how when someone kills someone else because of a game, the media turns its attention on the video gaming industry. I mean, the reason the kid killed the other kid was because that kid was fucked up to begin with. It's like how people say they hear god speaking to them when they kill others.
Hey just another kid doing something stupid. Then everyone will blame everything but the people responsible. The kid and the parents. Rather have the kid get death penalty
Do you think the guys who are claiming that video games are evil and pokemon is like devil worship really think that way? I personally think they are trollin'. Trollin' all the little kids who play GTA and try to argue their case with retarded points, backwards grammar, and phonetic spelling.
Kid was sixteen. He knew what he was doing. If Chile allows the death penalty, he flat out deserves it. Of course, this is going to be interpreted as an act of passion, or temporary insanity, and it'll definitely get moved down to second-class murder. Add in his age, and his agreeing to go to anger rehab, and boom, it's now manslaughter.
Seeing how the article states he could get five years, all that probably happened. Five years for killing your brother over who gets to use the playstation. What's wrong with people. The kid's fucked up to begin with. So's the penal system for letting him by with a slap on the wrist.
*sigh* Another example of pointless bickering over video games. As any idiot should realize, the cause of the killing was not the Playstation. It could have been a fight who would use the car, or read the book or w/e. The fact that it was over a game is irrelevant.
There isn't much to talk about here. The kid was clearly not right in the head. crazy people do crazy shit and people are going to look for something else to blame because crazy kid isn't a criminal..."he's a victim"...ugh.

LOL omg this reminds me when friends fight over the 1st player controller except everyone is joking of course.
The kid is clearly disturbed and I am some what relieved to read that the media did a little background check on the kid instead of immediately blaming video games.
But what possible reason was there to kill his own brother? Did he get mad cause he touched his PS3, had no control over his own property, or jealousy?
Can't there just be a killing blamed on Hannah Montana, or Lady Gaga or some shit like that? I could totally rally behind a group that was trying to abolish wannabe musicians because of a murder.
