EPTwell, in some high schools, the teachers wont keep in touch with the parents, so maybe the parents didn`t even know about his situation at school.

Maybe he is roleplaying some cool bad guy who rarely talks but kills. I don't know, I felt I was like him a few years ago. I remembered few years ago, there were times that I felt my boyfriend wasn't paying that much attention to me. So sometimes I just get angry for no reason and do some stupid stuffs to...erm..make my pressence felt lols. Broke up in the end :'[ I did alot ridiculous stuffs like pointing middle finger @ him and things that I won't normally do. Hahas, so childish and stupid back then. Maybe he is the same like me. He wants to speak out something from his heart, but too shy n introvert to do so. Then keep skipping classes and play games more to grab some attention. Or maybe he hates step mother doing ridiculous thingy with him and complained to father yet father side with the step mother which builds up some anger. Then cutting off internet is the last straw thus he knifed the mother. Hahas I could go on and on and on.  | ||

Going to school could still get him a few hours of CS a night. His solution to the problem wasn't logical. Imo his problem wasn't CS. His problem was his life, CS was his escapism from it. He was trying to get away from reality, first through computer games and then through the abdication of choice and freedom that comes through prison. | ||

Like some sort of terrorist? Was he Live action roleplaying? Dunno but if i was a cafe manager i would find this strange... O_o Actually no. I have a friend who is a cafe manager and I used to hang out there from time to time. There are a lot of youngsters (almost half, actually) that play with a cap on, or a hoodie, etc. Presuming it's not summer, when it's like 40ºC. It's just a "hood" look that some kids parade. Saying "like some sort of terrorist?" is really really close-minded. Don't judge people like that. And as for the entire "video games make people kill" dispute. It's not as black and white as we'd like to think. Of course they don't have negative effects on MOST people, but given the right circumstances (like in this case), where the parents don't give enough of a crap, few to no friends, the game becomes the only anchor to not going crazy. He invests all the feelings and such in the game, so when the parent thinks "oh well, we'll just stop his internet access" the kid will over-react. Now depending on how anti-social he got, how long was he 'left unattended', the over-reaction will become worse. So yeah, it's not the game itself, but it does open a portal where you can exist without real human interaction, which is not 100% ok. | ||

He was trying to get away from reality, first through computer games and then through the abdication of choice and freedom that comes through prison. That is exactly right. You, along with a few other informed posters have been trying to set things straight, but ignorance keeps surfacing on here. 1. That kid is a sociopath. He lacks empathy, which means he has no consideration for the feelings of others. He has no regrets for his actions either. Sociopaths can kill easily because they don't care about the suffering of their victums and they feel no regret for the murder. 2. You cannot, and I repeat, CANNOT become addicted to video games. An addiction is a physical dependance. Words mean things. You can't just co-opt a word for your own use in order to steal its emphasis. Drugs cause physical dependance in the brain, video games cannot do this. 3. That kid was using video games as an escape from his life. It doesn't matter what kind of game it was. He could have just as easily been playing cards or guitar hero. He killed his mother because he is a sociopath, not because of video games. These points have been brought up over and over in these 6 pages but people keep posting ignorant crap. Do youselves, and everybody else around you a favor and become educated about these issues before you go along with political propaganda and blame violent media for murderious teens. I forget, which violent video games did Hitler play when he was 15? Was it "kill all the jews"? | ||

No one who is addicted to computer games plays them because of their marvelous foresight. The immediate need overwhelms any anticipated consequences, resulting in unsound judgement. That is the nature of addiction. | ||

No matter how addictive u get to a game, you can`t do that, unless you have a problem. | ||
