Are you kidding:? The first comment about that story is about a misused word? How about the part where some kid justified smashing his father's head with a sledgehammer? 10 years in jail?! You can't fix that type of crazy.

Ok, that is crazy. that boy has psychological problems obviously. He needs life in prison. BUT there is no need to blame this on video games. If you are smart enough, a game isn't going to influence you enough to kill your parents.

Pretty easy to tell the American's commenting: They all want to lock him up forever.

you cannot blame this on violent games. and you shouldnt lock him up forever, the demons of a persons mind controlling his reaction is he was around violence from a person then thats where he gets it from not video games. 10 years is rough enough for a 14 year old maybe in that time he will be corrected. God help this boy
