Killer claims games sent him crazy photo

Yet again, it seems another criminal has learned that blaming videogames for your crimes will net you a sympathetic ear from some arsehammer, as one more killer has claimed that games sent him over the edge. Hu Ange from Sichuan Province, China, is attempting to plead insanity for poisoning his parents. The cause? Games, of course.

Ange poisoned his parents with tetramine after sinking all his assets into the online game Legend. In 2007, he had attempted to poison his father with 20 packs of the poison, but failed. He would soon up the ante with 45 packs of the stuff and mixed it up with beef, happily playing Legend while his dying mother called for help.  

Clearly a cold, callous and altogether self-centered piece of trash, but he knows that blaming videogames is the way forward these days. With the Jack Thompsons of the world making these criminals think they can get a free pass, this won't be the end of it.

Being that he is in China, one can be sure he will have a nice little meet with a bullet and the back of his skull.

NO one can force YOU to DO ANYTHING. If someone is holding a gun to your head and tells you make bake puppies or he'll kill you, you either choose by your free will to either refuse to bake puppies(and get lead poisoning) or do bake puppies(and not a get lead poisoining you sick puppy baking psycho). The only way to force someone to do anything is if the person is controling your mind or something, which is flat out impossible in the real non-respawning world. Long story short, this killer's story is bullshit.

I blame video games for everything. Millions homeless? Video games. Starving children in Zimbabwe? Video games. Video games? That's right, video games!

The whole system needs a huge fucking rehaul as placing the blame on something else is REFUCKINGTARDED.

When drunk drives hit and kill people do they get to blame it on the boose?

...Huh? I won't argue that he's probably insane; I don't see from this article what he stood to gain from poisoning his parents.

He should be forced to play Legend, without breaks, food, or water, until he dies of thirst and eye strain.
