It's Always Sonny in Philadelphia.

what is WRONG with those kids

"Playstation"? Is this a repeat from 1994, or did someone forget a number? This shiat is important. I would only bludgeon my mom for a PS3 with hardware backward compatibility.

jaylectricity: Lucke said that Anderson expressed remorse for the crime and told him: "If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom . . . she was the only person who cared for me."

There are no re-spawns in real life, kid.

Done in 9.

Really, what more is there to say about this?

"If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom . . . she was the only person who cared for me.

And now, no one will care once that cell door is closed behind you.

dj_bigbird: All that was missing was an interview from a neighbor saying how he was a "nice boy."

"Never bothered anyone"

Look, all I did was beat my mother half to death with a hammer, attempt to cook her in an oven, beat her to death with a chair leg, and buried her corpse in an ally. It was a childish mistake. I wouldn't do it again, I promise.

Teenage impulsiveness + no father figure to instill discipline = recipe for disaster.

Wow, that is just really, really sad.

Lucke said that Anderson expressed remorse for the crime and told him: "If I could, I would not do it again. I really miss my mom . . . she was the only person who cared for me."

Especially now that the last person who cared for you ended up being beaten with a hammer, chair leg and shoved into an oven...

wtf, how do you kill your own mother, especially over something so petty. They need to just do away with this... creature.

Seriously.

Also I'm really curious if the Playstation was a key element in this murder. Was that actually the last straw, or is an incidental console being thrown in as the bogeyman again?

at least it wasn't GameCast.

Hey, I'd hammer a motherfarker for some Spyro.

Following a 90-minute argument the day after Thanksgiving, police allege, Kendall went into his sleeping mother's bedroom, hit her 20 times with a claw hammer...
...When the hammer attack did not kill her, Anderson told police, he dragged her downstairs and tried to "cremate her" in the kitchen oven. When that failed, he continued, he beat her in the head with a chair leg..."


Amateur. I can kill my mother with my bare hands.

Every couple of weeks we hear about a parent telling their kid "you need to cut back on the [insert gaming system here] and then the kid going all crazy on the parent. WTF? Do you think that the kid looks back later on and says "wow, what was I thinking over a gaming system?" or are they completely gone?

My mom came into my room to try and take away my Playstation when I was a freshman in college. I stared at her, controller in hand, and told her that I'd paid for it entirely by myself and that she was crazy if she thought she was going to leave my room with it. I was shocked when she said nothing, left, and never attempted to take it again.

Inauxas: wtf, how do you kill your own mother, especially over something so petty.

The likely answer is that there was no disciplinarian around to mitigate the teenager's minuscule amount of impulse control.

When there's no authority figure around, teenagers engage in all kinds of violent, destructive, and self-destructive behavior.

You ask this kid, and I'd almost guarantee you that he'd tell you that none of it seemed real while he was doing it.

I'd make a witty hammer-related joke but a lot of you have already hit the nail on the head. I mean, we've pounded the joke into the ground already. Someone has probably already drove the final nail into this thread's coffin. I can't stand the heat, so I'll just leave the kitchen - I have no chair leg to stand on, anyway. I'll just be watching from the alley.

It wasn't your room.

It was her room. You were being a selfish, disrespectful twat, and she left because she was too busy wondering if she shouldn't sew up her own coont to ensure nothing like you ever crawled out again.

Proving again that console gamers are scum.

My dad's been on my ass about playing too many video games for 10 years. All I need to do is whip out my grades and it keeps him quiet for a semester or so.

I just don't see any real effort or creativity there.

Nah. You nailed it.

"I'm not dead."
"She says she's not dead."
"Yes she is."
"I'm not!"
"She's not."
"Well she will be soon. She's very ill."
"I'm getting better."
"No you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment."

But was he lanky?

/needs to be told things three times to understand.

He enjoyed playing games like:

Gran Turismo
Resident Evil 2
Crash Bandicoot
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2
Chrono Trigger

Grand Theft Auto 2 is destroying our youth!

Yes, because I never did anything else for her. Or the family. Ever. For serious.

Who says it was about the playstation? That's just what set it off. This kid is probably a classic psychological abuse victim. "I couldn't stand the arguing" he said. Perhaps, his mother abused him daily with mental trauma, so one day he snaps. If this had been an abused wife or a molested kid we'd all be too happy to see his side of the story. Also, and as cliche as it sounds, I think this kid has Asperger's. He said he was sorry and that he wouldn't have done it again and said she was the 'only one to care for' him. Classic abuse victim behavior of protecting their abuser. Yet another black male youth sacrificed by the system.

Stopped reading at "Rashida"

I have to say it...what did she expect?
