  1. I've been playing video games for over 30 years, and I've never killed or even harmed another person. I can say with 100% certainty that video games are not to blame for this crime. Stop making excuses for the perpetrator. It's just as gross as the crime itself.3 days with only bathroom breaks and a bowl of cereal….ummm bigger question why did they even let it even get to that point?! and at what point do you say ''Our son, a minor has problems and we're going to get him professional help while we can as his parents NOW once he's a legal adult if he wants to choose video games over his future and family his choice not ours we did all we can, end of story best wishes to all in this tragic situation RIP Mrs. Petric.

    P.S.I have seen first hand what issues like this can do i have relatives who chose video games and drugs, violence etc over family and relationships even job oppertunities and I can tell you without a doubt those individuals had issues from the cradle to the grave years before video games ultimately it's just very sad when all you can do is offer and they refuse but hey what do i know?

  2. Overstrict parenting never helps. Should have just let Daniel play the new Halo game after all. He would have beaten the game and moved on to other interests. Mother dies and Father is injured senselessly. Let your children play.

  3. why the dad want to forgive this phyisco kid after when he shot him in the head. Than the son blamed him of the murder. The father knew he needed help and didn 't do anything about it. lts sad the mother died. just over a video game really. This kid was a nut case.

  4. I grew up watching a road runner kill a coyote in every way imaginable, I watched a fat pudgy man hunt a rabbit who tricks him into getting killed in many ways. An alcoholic abusive father who ignores his lil girls and chokes out his son. BUT NOOOO it's different now? Pffft stop blaming video games to hide your lack of parental guidance.

  5. Depressed person: lost what he loves, feels trapped and isolated, gets some thing to distract him that feels good
    Family and police: The thing that made him feel good made him attack us

  6. Obviously because his first reaction was to go to his friend's house to play the game makes it clear he's fucking delusional and has some fucked up issues that have nothing to do with the game. Also Daniel was old enough to KNOW what death is. He's not mentally retarded. Every child that is not mentally retarded understands what death is by 7 years of age. Hearing that judge's opinion made me cringe. Btw if you're gonna blame a videogame then blame GTA not Halo 3 you stupid fuck. Thats like blaming Seseme Street instead of SAW

  7. Jesus Christ what a fucking loser. I hope all that shit was fucking worth it for him because now he's never gonna be able to play Halo or any other video game ever again.

  8. I myself play video games (Call of Duty and other shooter games) with my teenage son…if they would have gotten that poor child some help when he got injured and could no longer play sports maybe things would have turned out differently….sometimes it's just easier to blame someone/something else for the problem instead of taking responsibility…I truly hope while this young man sits in prison that he will finally be able to get the help he needs

  9. The parents are pretty dense. Dosnt look like they understand anything. Kid loses the ability to do his favorite thing in the world, dosnt get therapy or understanding.

    Also dumbest judge ever.

  10. Sorry but he is old enough to know better & understand the difference between games & real life. He had to know that if he shot them there was a good chance they would die. I think the gamer thing doesn’t stand up for me. There has to be some underlying issue because my son has played those games at times & he is the sweetest kid ever & he knows full well that he is playing a make believe game. He wouldn’t hurt a fly in real life.

  11. The FPS game is not what caused this! 🤦‍♀️ I play them and have no urges to go hurt people and you can make me stop playing them and I will be ok. This was a lack of care an attention to an underlying condition he was suffering from.
