I think the kid was probably being abused and he just snapped when he got the weapon. He could've gotten it, been angered, and then his bottled up rage just took over. A kid that's been abused has issues with trust, so he wouldn't tell anybody anything no matter what.
Wow. So without any proof whatsoever, you are now accusing the VICTIMS in this case of child abuse.....just wow.

Haha.. well how many different ways do people say "I don't know?"
Maybe he said "I DO(wink wink wink)n't know."

Agreed some teenagers don't know between fiction or reality in most video games.
It will indeed be blamed on the video games yet again
Well, maybe it should be. Im going to do a thread on this. When I was a kid, I played defender, and mike tysons punch out. Kids today are playing uberrealistic war simulations and grand theft auto 4.
You dont think that stuff has any effect on young minds? I think our society proves it does.

Three headshots. Maybe he thought it was a game and that everyone he killed would just respawn in the kitchen.

Agreed when I first held a loaded gun thats what went through my head. You just feel different for a moment because you know you have the power in your hands to do what you want, it's how people choose to act on that. That's why there is the need for training and more than that self discipline, you cannot give a child a gun and know he is gonna be fine with it.
