wow....... thats just stupid

where the hell do these people get off?  I followed a link at the bottom where 2 teens killed a 7 year old girl while practicing mortal combat moves.  What are they thinking?  And how do they get off with such a light sentence.  The 2 that killed are being held on bail...  They killed a girl and now they can get out with 100k, I wouldn't let them out at all.  And the kid that lit another kid on fire.  What the hell.  It's a bunch of bull, "I got caught up in World of Warcraft".  Bullcrap!  8 years is a start, but for the rest of the other kids life, he will have to live with the scars.  The $100,000 that he was ordered to pay the family is nothing.  Wont even cover all the medical bills I'd suspect. 

This world is freaking messed up.  If you kill someone, you deserve to die.  If you light someone on fire, you deserve nothing less than being lit on fire and thrown in jail for life.  If I had kids and someone killed one of em, I wouldn't give a crap about the money, I'd want him dead, nothing less, life in prison does not cut it.  He took a life, his must be taken.

My Grandpa was killed by a drunk driver.  My Grandpa is dead.  You know what the drunk driver got as a sentence?  3 years in jail, but he got out on bail after 8 months.  What the hell.  He killed my Grandpa, and now he is out there somewhere enjoying himself, and my grandpa is still dead.  The maximum sentence allowed for killing someone with a vehicle while drunk is 36 months, or 3 years.  This is nothing.  Now I don't have a Grandpa.  I've lost out on time with him, anything I might have learned from him, and everything that a Grandpa gives to his Grandkids.  This stuff needs to change.

You'd like Hong Kong's law system,
where you sentenced to death just for stealing...


Consider in russia it's much worse:
The 'defender' can get out of the case if he gets some 3000 signatures.

But on second thought:
what would you do if your son had set the other kid on fire?
or if he had killed that 7yr old girl with martial arts practice? Who knew he could kill with just a move?

Capital punishment FTW.

this is just a really stupid thing to happen. put him in young offenders and get some sessions with a phycaitrist (that isnt spelt right but oh well).

are u a r-tard?

@Vengence - You know there's a thing called Dictionary? Even google has one...

@XelNa*beep*eah... badass punishment!

@Fellatio - Did you know that if you turn your head too fast you can damage some nerves? Doing a massage to the neck the wrong way can damage the blood vessels?
There's tons of stupid ways to die that nobody ever expects...
And also, why was the kid taught moves that can lead to death? Was he warned about it?

You have to be warned that if you hit somebody you can kill him? Last time I checked the hands don't come with warning labels that say you can damage somebody if you use them in combat.

That said there are many hits you can make that can kill somebody which body teaches you, I actually did something that scared the *beep* out of me when I was in 5th or 6th grade. I was fighting with somebody and I punched him to the side of his neck exactly where the blood vessels that feed the brain are, he went down like a rock, I really did think I killed him for a second. Lucky he only blacked out for a short while. So you really don't need anybody to teach out killing blows, they can just happen.

Probably not.

What it says on the site about multi nationals paying because someone said a game drove them to the act, is jsut American insanity. Seriously, unless they really showed you how to kill and almost like made you do it. But this game (WoW) is being played my millions of people and how many commit a murder or set someone on for because of it? Same with that mortal combat, you can not sue a company for it. Thats jsut insane.

Mr. Gilth is totally right here, by killing someone because that person killed someone, you become like that person and deserve to be killed yourself.
Thats why theres a lawsystem.
And if you think punishes in America are a laugh, you really need to come to Holland. According to a poll, most Dutch people would punish 3 times worse than our judges do.
And sorry about your grandpa man :(

FYI If this is a middle class family in China then they make a make a tops of 6000 a year.

People have always been *beep*s... 100 years ago kids said "let's play guns!" and brought down their dad's hunting rifle, aimed it at their brother and pulled the trigger and killed them.

500 years ago I bet a good number of kids got killed by whacking each other on the head with a wooden sword.

It's just this feeling of seperation between reality and fiction that kids and *beep*s don't always understand.

The worst part (I think) about the burning incident is that the kid himself in all probability didn't come up with "warcraft made me do it" on his own. It was likely his parents or his lawyer who are trying to cash in on a trend of sometimes getting away with things based on accusing video games. It is so wrong, adults should not make lame excuses for young criminals and, obviously, lawyers are disgusting and crooked.

the worst part of that site is those people in the comments section saying stupid things like:

scorch ftw!
