US boy, 9, 'kills sister over video game'

"I assume he's seen this on video games or TV. I don't know if he knew exactly what this would do. I can't answer that. I do know it's a tragedy."

Vídeo games are clearly to blame in this instance, right?

If his sister had been packing she could have taken him out first.

the girl should have had a gun. that way she would have been able to defend herself.

Video games and TV are the first things the sheriff mentions.

100% this

The only thing that stops a bad sibling with a gun is a good sibling with a gun.

I see the police already looking to blame this on the video game, it's obviously that it's the fault of the game, not the fact than a 9 year old has access to a handgun!

The only thing that stops a bad sibling with a gun is a good sibling with a gun.

But what if a third sibling enters the room and, not knowing which of the first two is good and which is bad, takes the only sensible option and blows both away with a bazooka?

Backward fuckers

While I'm sure the parents will be utterly devastated, it's their fault there was a loaded gun in the house

Well obviously the third sibling would have the game console to his/herself.

The mentality of American people (generalising obviously) is f***ing crackers.

For a 9 year old to have been able to pick up a gun, the likelihood says it belongs to the house therefore his parents should have been immediately arrested for neglect at the very least.

But no, let's just blame the video games and lay no fault at the feet of the parents or the culture.

I used to play road rash when I was 9 or so. Not once did I go out on a motorbike with a baton or chain and start bashing other motorbike riders.

Used to happen all the time when I was a kid. Best bubble gum you could get.

mate i played and watched all sorts as a kid and never once thought about doing any of that shit in real life

I do think being exposed to the Hun and other various porn sites at an early age has fucked me up sexually tho

Chicks with dicks and scat city too?

Regardless of that, as a family they would have been safer overall with the gun in the house. After all, it would only be a matter of time before a burglar broke in and tried to murder all of them, before stealing the console they were arguing over.
