Last year, in Colorodo two teens like a 16 year old girl and a 17 year old boy were babysitting her 7 year old sister then they got drunk and decided to play Mortal Kombat on her for real. They kicked, punched and threw junk at her throughout the house nonstop they even said "Get over Here!" like in the games. then she was rushed to the hospital as 15 hours later she died of internal injuries. The two were arrested as they were put on trial as they claim to be drunk and imitated moves from Mortal Kombat games.

Er... why are you posting horrible stories like this lately for seemingly no apparent reason?

To be honest, perhaps the Robotropolis Vents (or maybe the Debate forum) would be a better place for this?

I've always held that he's a troll, this is just "phase two" since the old stuff wasn't working. (I mean look at the guy, his member title is "I don't think he's gonna stop."

He's not a very good troll then, more of a spammer IMO. But hey, how many of my posts have decent substance?

Shut up guys. To be honest this is a decent topic.
And I'll put this bluntly.. Ive been drunk.. A lot. Ive been high as fuck. Ive been so fucked out of my mind on drugs and alchohol I thought shit was chasing me. But you know what? I have NEVER hurt anyone. Cause even if you are drunk or whatever you can still think.. And doing that shit with someone.. especially someone that young.. They deserve to die. I'm honest.. Being drunk or whatever is no fucking excuse!
If anyone out there is reading this and you get drunk or fucked up on drugs for whatever reason... No matter what you do it is NOT a excuse for anything.
Fucking sick

I agree whole-heartedly with Chief. The entertainment industry is often the target for people who don't wanna take responsiblity for their own actions. And the law accomodates these people because the shirnks and politial correctness nuts and the other seedy elements of society are all against proper punishment and taking responsiblity for yer own actions... No... It's much easier to blame someone else and get the public mad at them than fess up to your own actions and take what's coming to you... They deserve to be strung up, but seeing as how that's not very popular anymore, they should probly be taken behand a toolshed, if you catch my drift.
Plus, there's not really much physically realistic stuff in a Mortal Kombat game... Though, granted, an 7 year old against a 17 year old would allow for some of the throws... But unless they're martial artist and/or have access to martial arts weapons, it's more likely they just cooked up the story to save their own asses... It generally take someone who's severly mentally impaired (or very young) to try and imitate movies and videogames. A person in such a state of mind wouldn't have the attantion span to chase someone through a house and keep it up. The'd get destracted by something else (proby the pretty pictures on the screen again) and forget all about attacking someone.

Bandora once posed a theory that by watching violence, children usually do that same watched violence. How he showed this was by asking children to see short movies with grown men hitting Bobo dolls, (the air filed plastic dolls) and what they found was that as soon as the children were asked to play with that same doll later, they hit them. This is called modeling. The children are modeling the actions they see. But as good as a theory as this is, children by the age of 17 should know this is wrong.
One thing a parent could do to prevent this would be to explain that what you see on TV cannot be done in real life without someone getting hurt. But the child should be told this while young. At 17, kids don't want to listen to parents. IMO the parents should have been there to do something about this. THIS should not have happened.
As for the issue of blaming TV, Games, and the Internet for all the child's problems...not always a good thing. It can't be TV ect all the time. And even if some parents complain about the violence in the things children see, play, and click, then they should DO something to block these things off. Make it so that little billy can't see violence. But for the love of all that is good, DON'T try to make it suck for those who understand what is real, and what is a game.

Could you say that in your original posts then please, mate? Otherwise it just makes it look like you're posting morbid stories for no reason other than just to let us know a story has happened instead of trying to open up a reasonable debate.
Danke.

All alright. X3 But yeah people will use the excuse for anything they think they can get away with, like take a look at this BBC Article or here I'll just repost it.-
Elf defence for 'lingerie thief'
A man accused of a stealing underwear from a shop in a knifepoint raid believed he was a female elf at the time, Belfast Crown Court has heard.
Robert Boyd, 45, from Broadlands in Carrickfergus, is accused of holding up staff at the Orchid shop in Belfast disguised in a wig, hat and glasses.
He told the court he had been involved in a role-playing game at the time, and his character was an elf named Beho.
He denies robbery but says he may have blurred reality and fantasy.
He also said it "could be right" that Beho had intended to rob the shop - although he told the jury he could not remember what was going through his mind at the time.
He told defence counsel Anthony Cinnamond that within his small social circle he had been participating in a game known as Shadowrun.
The game was set in the future and the assumed characters were criminals, he said.
He told the court his character was a shaman, or magical elf, who carried a small Japanese sword as a weapon.
Mr Boyd, who said he visits a psychiatrist regularly, conceded that he "seemed to have blurred that line between reality and fantasy".
"I can't believe that I personally did that... and I deeply regret that.
"If I had sought some help I would've avoided that in its entirety."
Prosecutors claim that Mr Boyd knew "perfectly well" what he was doing on the day of the robbery and was "using this memory loss scenario to avoid answering very difficult questions".
The lab technician, from Broadlands in Carrickfergus, denies one charge of robbery.
He is accused of stealing two sets of bras, knickers, suspender belts and stockings from the shop on Lisburn Road on 14 December, 2005.
--------------------------
He was convicted of robbery, and although he "claimed to see a psychiatrist regularly" the two they brought in were devided, one thinking he might have disassociation with reality, the other saying he was full of crap. In other words another fail for "the game made me do it I swear" more info at http://www.theescapist.com
