Teens Go "Mortal Kombat" On 7-Year Old Girl

I don't fall into the video games causes violence group, but this is just ridiculous. What the hell is wrong with some people?

ABC News: 'Mortal Kombat' Teens Beat Girl to Death (http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=4030846)

Here we go again with blaming video games for violence. Sorry I just don't buy it one bit. Stop passing the buck and let's get down to the real source: piss poor parenting.

I love this part:

The witness told police that Roberts said Zoe had told them to stop wrestling. According to the affidavit, when the witness asked why they didn't stop, he responded, "I don't know; I was drunk."

Nice.

Yeah, to be clear. I don't blame Mortal Kombat or any video game for this. If you're stupid enough to make decisions based on a video game, you're not qualified to be babysitting anyway.

Reading that honestly made me feel ill. WTF is wrong with people?!?!?
I hope these f'ing kids end up in a grown-up, pound me in the ass prison for a long time, then they can have all the rough "play" they want.

This just makes me sick to my stomach. Absolutely disgusting. There is no punishment great enough for these pieces of trash.

Yeah, to be clear. I don't blame Mortal Kombat or any video game for this. If you're stupid enough to make decisions based on a video game, you're not qualified to be babysitting anyway.

And to be clear myself, I wasn't ranting on you.

Thank you, Well said Smooty.

I don't buy it for some reason.

I think she setup the boyfriend because she was jealous of her half sister.
Yeah I know, I watch too much law and order SVU.

Even animals know there is a limit to how hard you can play. You can't tell me they had no idea the kid was hurt. I can't imagine what that child went through as they beat her to death.
I hope they die in prison.

This will probably be the inspiration for a future SVU (if it hasn't been already). That show is fantastic by the way, but so depressing at the same time. I shed some tears during an SVU the other day. Go Mariska!

This is so sad. She's f'ing 7 years old! As for blaming video games or alcohol that's no excuse.
