(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The power of online video game violence has been strongly underestimated by our community. We all know how playing violent video games online can change your emotion's and desensitize people.

I have heard stories about people trying to steal cars, breaking into police stations and attempted robbery, but this one incident i heard about blew me away...

This man by the name of Michael McWhertor who is living in Philadelphia got upset one day because his mom took away his PlayStation 3. He got so enraged that he had (Stated In Court Hearing) planned to have some sort of a clawed hammer and slash him mother in the kitchen, and then stated that he had planned to finish her off with a kitchen chair leg. He reported her missing the next day, but then on his confession he added he would certainly not do it again.

Do it again? Is he kidding me. Look what a little online violence and a thirst for an obsession will do to someone. A young man, killed his mother, not a friend, not a criminal but his mother. The kind of things a game would have to do to you for you to feel that killing your mother will make you feel better or help you De-stress. and then to start breaking out in tears the next day because you wouldn't do it AGAIN! I think he deserves to go to jail. To kill your mother over a taken away PlayStation is not only criminal but disturbing. Please read the link if you want to read the report.

Thank You

I find it pretty ludicrous to believe that it was only this one act of taking the playstation away from him that led to his anger and decision to kill her. Something must have been boiling in him for quite a while. Who knows how badly she might have treated him? So in essence, the playstation event might have been just the final straw. But I could go on speculating without getting anywhere...I guess what Im saying is that things are usually a lot more complex and news media have the tendency to hype stuff up with simplifications.


Well said Claps

I think its only the dumb ones that get effected. Come on? killing in real life Vs. killing in a video game? Don't be dumb.
