The parents should be charged with negligence... they have a legal responsability for the kid and for the gun... how old are you... do you not understand legal responsabilities???

lmfao, you can't be serious? You think this would actually pass in court? It would be mistrialed and thrown out so god damn fast.

[QUOTE="0bscurity"]How the hell is it the parents fault? It was an accident, it's so black and white.R0gu3Do0d

His parents let him stay home and not go to school. They let him play, and become obsessed, with an M rated game. And they let him regularly play with REAL guns. It's absolutely their fault.

Wow, really, you're that obtuse? When I skipped school I chose to do it, when I did something stupid as a kid I chose to do it, when I played games or watched movies I shouldn't have, bingo, I chose to do it. Were my parents there to try to stop me? Most definitely, but that doesn't change the fact that I still got around them and did it. You people act as if the parents put the gun in the kids hand and sent him out the door, it's absolutely ridiculous.

if the parents wanted to have the gun then its there responsability for what happens with it... If you have ever been in trouble with the law before 18 you know that your parents are legaly responsible for paying it and all that... same with keeping the gun away from the kid... If the parents could not handle keeping the gun away from the kid they should not be parents or not have a gun...

So in your eyes the parents should be in jail for manslaughter or at least awaiting trial?

How am i being obtuse? An 11 year old child should not have the "choice" so skip school. His parents should make damn sure he goes and gets an education. Parents letting their kids play M-rated games isnt that uncommon; i know my parents used to let me watch movies beyond my age, simply because they had raised me to know i wasnt going to immitate them.

Had i watched Terminator and then become obsessed with it, made my own Terminator suit and started shooting things, pretendeding to be said-terminator, you can be sure they'd have put a stop to it. You cant allow your children to become obsessed with something like that.

And seriously.... you're going to defend them letting an eleven year old boy play with a .22 calibre rifle with live ammo?

lmao, desperation is setting in. People make their own choices every day, this child chose to play with a gun that unfortunately had live ammunition in it and lost his life because of it. There's no one to blame here. If you're so sure it's the parents fault would you go as far as to say we should prosecute them and put them on trial? What if the article was stating it was the video games fault, would you jump that band wagon too? And when did I say it was okay that an 11 year old with live ammunition is fine? There's no need to put words in my mouth. I don't think anyone needs to own a gun, but that's a whole other opinion that I simply don't wish to elaborate on.

actually, everything you stated was opinion. and you do know that dethklok is a joke band, like spinal tap, right? now go and listen to nickelback, please.

mattbbpl

Where is my opinion point it out to me? And who cares if they are a joke band.. they sell CDs which to me makes them not so much of a joke :), also I don't know anything about nickleback beside that their a band, but I've heard stuff from dethklok.. what trash.

He's making fun of them as if clone was in the band or something. Plus, Dethklok is awesome for what they are. Brandon Smalls can shred up a storm, he's a great guitar player.
