Xbox Chat Leads To Violent Attack In Oakley

"OAKLEY (CBS13) – An online fight led to an in-person attack for a young man in Oakley, and he ended up with nearly two dozen stab wounds.

This stabbing all started with a conversation on an Xbox Live headset that allegedly set a 17-year-old off, not with a joystick, but with a real knife and gun.", writes CBS Sacramento.

[Hufandpuf]

Wow, he really tried to kill him

[jc48573]

i swear to god if someone ever points a gun at me....

[LightofDarkness]

You'll freeze in terror? Such statements are merely platitudes until you've been faced in the same situation. The fact is, you don't know what you're going to do in that situation until it happens, but conventional wisdom suggests you will cower and fear for your life. And what, are you going to try to disarm the attacker? I get the feeling you watch to many movies...

[JellyJelly]

I've had a gun pointed at me once, by an extremely unstable person. I was somewhat drunk but the adrenaline made me sober in a second. I was in shock the rest of the night.

You wouldn't do sh*t unless you want to risk dying. And most people don't.

[pixelsword]

I had guns pointed at me or I was near very volatile situations in several instances in my life and trust me, you never want that, ever.

The first time was when I was going through military training and someone got a little too full of vitriol and shot herself.

I was on my first date with a girl and we were talking and walking in a park at night and in the distance a couple of guys were looking in our direction and kept on talking. I recognized the clicking sound of a gun's revolver moving around and so I escorted us both out. I remember putting myself between her and the guys thinking that these were the last moments in my life. After that, I dated her for years. I guess that experience told me I at least liked her to do that, seeing she wasn't even aware what was going on until afterwards.

Two cops pulled guns on me when I was sitting at the bus stop because they thought I robbed a store across the street (Really? Rob a bank and sit across the street?).

Let's see; A drunk redneck with a .44 magnum tucked sloppily away under his wifebeater, several instances in clubs which made me a couch potato, and finding a kindly old man's assault weapon at the WRONG time gave me the experience that when you see a gun, use your head if you can. Use your heart if you must.

[SonyPS360]

You'll what, dodge the bullets?

Act like a tough guy before getting killed?

Rush the person with the gun before getting killed?

Or will you do the sensible thing and try and avoid getting shot, so you can live on to make more dumb online comments like this?

[WeskerChildReborned]

Lightofdarkness has a point. You'll never really know what you'll do.

[Bonerboy]

You'll what tough guy? Oh I know, you'll cry and plead while you shit and piss yourself.

[andibandit]

I bet they were playing MW3 at the time.

[Mainsqueeze]

What does it matter?

[Tonester925]

I live 5 minutes away from Oakley haha

This won't stop me from trash talking. I love it

[silvacrest]

prepare for the inevitable knock at the door when some psycho finds your address because he cant let go of a troll comment

[KidBroSweets2]

This is more a story of just a horrible "friendship" but since the part where things finally boiled over had to do with online gaming then that's all that anybody will say, as if it started there and like they didn't know each other.

[JVIV]

I was wondering why all these cops and news vans were in my neighborhood ,this kid Kevin lives down the street from me ha ha he got f**** shanked by some loser! lol skinny kid too Kevin could have destroyed the kid.

[Hufandpuf]

post a pic!

[Blastoise]

"Kemp will be OK, but his friendship is likely finished." Lmao! You reckon?

[joab777]

It's another misleading headline. It may have happened on Xbox but they knew each other and the guy said it wasn't gaming related. They had a beef that escalated

[Psycho_Mantis]

O RLY? o_0

[NovusTerminus]

I thought it was one of my friends looking at the picture. I was like "Oh, SHIT!" But it is not...

Still, this really had nothing to do with the game, as he said, it was a continued fight that just finally hit it's boiling point... But the news will ignore that fact...

Glad he is OK.

[KidBroSweets2]

@LordMe

Hahaha I just read your piece right after I wrote mine and saw we basically wrote the exact same thing. Glad to know not everyone is oblivious.

[IRetrouk]

How did he miss the shot?!!!, only messin, glad he is ok

[hkgamer]

Is gun crime something taht happens alot in Oakley?
Not sure what they were arguing about or how long it has been going on but its a shame that the 17 year old got so pissed that he decided to try and scare/kill someone for it.
I understand how young people like to protect the reputation and doesn't like it when they get shamed, but trying to kill someone especially someone you know quite well is a little over the top.
Just proves that society and people acting like gangsters need to change. It is not cool to be a gangster, they end up in jail.

[HSx9]

I'm pretty sure people that decided to join a gang, are not in it to be "cool" but rather to make a lot of money and have protection.

[hkgamer]

not really saying the people that are in gangs, i am talking about kids who think gangsters are cool and are just violent over the smallest things .. just saying that gangsters are glorified and a lot of young teenagers think some aspects are cool.

[Tonester925]

Only snobby wanna be rich people live in Oakley.

[ElementX]

So the perp knew where the guy lived and he was invited to come over and "do this right now?" SMH

[HammadTheBeast]

The mic and xbox live told him where rhe victim lived. Its the vidyagamez I tell ya. They must be banned forever!!!

[ElementX]

The article stated that the perp was a family friend

[MrChow666]

uughhhh his tits! :S what a disgusting sight, sry but its true, I'm glad he is ok and all but even if a knife attack didnt kill him his bad habits will

[mochachino]

Not usually in the habit of blaming the victim but there are some people online that I feel deserve to get beat up. People say a lot of things online that they wouldn't in real life because they'd be liable to get punched, maybe this guy probably got his.

Human decency is for decent humans, some people around the net are so rude, racist, sexist, everything-ist and belligerent that they deserve bad things to happen to them.

A stabbing is extreme and not saying this guy deserved to be stabbed, just maybe fear of consequences would be good on the net.

[HammadTheBeast]

I feel like kicking the kids talking smack in the throat. But then I just settle for teabags.

[Urbz7870]

Is fighting sum loser online really worth it?

[silvacrest]

some people just cant let shit go

[OC_MurphysLaw]

Crazy story... luckily it really had nothing to do with gaming. That same conversation could easily have happened over a phone. Glad to see the victim is going to be ok, and the punk that stabbed him will be going away for a long ass time.

Next question to ask.... where did the 17yr old get the hand gun?

[PersonMan]

I told you PSN was better!

*this post is not to be taken seriously*

[danieldeath]

Them Tits ..

[blackmamba707]

moobozaurus rex

[LostDjinn]

Way to twist things up for hits there cbs.

[Ninjamonkey82]

Dude had battle armour on :).

[sovietsoldier]

good, i wish more people would do this so less people would think be for opening their mouths and saying whatever they like. punk ass bitches hiding behind their computer and consoles acting tough till someone come knocking and then it's "oh god don't kill me!!!". its all fun and games till someone gets hurt.

[killerhog]

You guys really like to twist things around, the real cowards are the ones who have to use weapons. Simple as that. Im sure Kemp called him out to fist fight yet the 17-year-old brought weapons. If I or someone else talks shit fight me with your fist if you bring a gun or knife your a bitch

[Getowned]

Yeah I agree he brought a gun and a knife to a fist fight like a little b!tch. Kids are pussys now a days -_-

[kostchtchie_]

well said mate, if this happen more often people would rethink how they conduct themselves over the net, being an asshole online could just get you stabbed or shot, so beware kiddies as next time it could be you

[timemuffin]

You're a straght up sociopath. You really think this should happen more often because "punk ass bitches hiding behind their computer and consoles acting tough till someone come knocking and then it's "oh god don't kill me!!!". ". How old are you? 11, 12 ?
So far most of the comments on this article have ranged from totally inappropriate to absolutely disgusting. And sovietsoldier you are a scumbag.

[PersonMan]

Maybe we should just go back to offline single player/split screen days.

I used to game online all the time, but now I couldn't care less about online. I play single player games or co-op games with my girlfriend.

[stuna1]

If what he said was the norm N4G would be a ghost town!

As far as the victim goes, glad he's alright!
Just because someone is over-weight doesn't always mean that they can't put down the fork! All kinds of medical conditions cause obesity, for all anyone knows it could be a glandular problem.

[sovietsoldier]

@JamesManow you illustrate my point very well, you like many people talking shit and calling names but you will be the first one to start crying when someone bigger and meaner puts you in your place.

[sovietsoldier]

true fist fight vs fist fight is fair but so is gun vs gun, the guy that showed up was just prepared and you cant blame him for that.

[StayStatic]

Guess he thinks he is the Big Boss "If I equip a knife and a gun at the same time , I can switch from one to another depending on the situation" , can't remember the quote exactly lol.

[kostchtchie_]

ha ha indeed, he was going CQC on his ass

[BattleTorn]

How is this related to video games, or Xbox Live?

Do we blame telephones when people get upset with each and it turns violent?

[FantasyStar]

I'm sure once upon a time: we did blame telephones for violent confrontations involving the device. Look at cell phones: we're blaming them right now. Time and place, chap.

[BattleTorn]

We blame all sorts of *new* stuff for violence. That doesn't make it any more correct.

The bottemline is it was the CONTEXT of the discussion that created violence, not their technology that facilitated it.

Are we going to start restricting communication in the name of safety?
These two already knew each other, surely the technology between them is not to blame.

[007Bond]

LIVIN IN AMERICA!

[ShadowKingx]

Victim: You Camping Mother F@%ker!!!

Stabber: F@$K You

Victim: I Bet you won’t come over house and say that to my face MotherF@$ker!!

Stabber: I’ll Show Him

Watch Video………….

Seriously this is really sad that someone would go to this extreme over something probably stupid. But i guess there are crazy people out there.

[ifistbrowni]

funny stuff.

[Skateboard]

X-box live in a nutshell.

[t0mmyb0y]

nuff said

[miDnIghtEr20C_SfF]

Nice breast. He gives Anders from Workaholics a run for his money.

[t0mmyb0y]

AHHHH the new episode was fucking awesome. I love how they all take turns writing the episodes.

[bub16]

it all goes down on xbox live!

[t0mmyb0y]

seems like it

[ApolloTheBoss]

And this is why I mute my microphone both ways.

[HaVoK308]

And there is today's generation. Internet tough guys.

<---Glad he's a part of Generation X.

[Shotcalm]

Why is there a topless fat woman in this video?

[AgreeFairy]

To get you to click on the article as the site needs hits.

[theconsole_kid]

thats too funny

[LOL_WUT]

I hope this experience makes him rethink his life not just for the attacker but for both people involved.

[HelloHowAreYou]

Fox news is going to flock to this like flies on shit lol.

[SnakePlissken]

Dont forget about msnbc too, they are one of the worst offenders!

[Psychotica]

Bet the kid that did it isn't feeling so tough right now. He just flushed his life down the toilet for nothing..

[CRASHBASHUK]

and this is why PSN has cross chat text rooms

[HelloHowAreYou]

It doesn't matter, an outcome like this could still be the same. Now it's definitely confirmed and proven true what a troll looks like behind his console and PC. Referring to the 17 year old that was stabbed.

[Wingsfan24]

Lol

[bigfish]

so much blubber, im amazed that the knife didnt just bounce off of all of that flab

[Getowned]

You're really amazed a knife cut through skin and fat ?

Normaly I would think thats what a knife was for, but ok.

Im sure you'll be AMAZED to find they have knives to even cut big fish.

[bigfish]

lol,,, smart ass.

[Getowned]

Yup lmao

[Orionsangel]

Now he'll spend most of his life in jail for attempted murder. Fucked up in the ass. Yeah really worth it. Think before you act! Dumbass!

[Moncole]

That guy should play kinect instead.

[BABY-JEDI]

Yes... With a knife & gun... Wait a minute isn't that move?....?

[AntBoogy90]

Didn't happen because of games. Happened because of "social networking" tbh imo iah.

[Fez]

"long running family feud"

[Treian]

and this is why I don't have a 360. The kids and trolls on xbl ruin it.

[Fez]

nothing to do with that...watch the vid

[Treian]

I did watch the video...

[HarryKawkReturns]

Overkill

[sandman224]

Good thing that kid is on the plus side. All that fat may have saved him. His fat is like the halo regenerating shield. Good thing that kid stopped stabbing because that shield was about to give. Lol

[sandman224]

Oh one other thing. Yes I'm going to go there lol. If he had a ps3 this wouldn't of happened because there's no party chat and you can barely make someone out with all the crackling on everyone's mic. Lmao. Burn.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

" His fat is like the halo regenerating shield." HAHAHA never look at that shield the same way again.

[darkgod]

anger issues much.

[GameOn]

Good job he was wearing his fat suit. OH WAIT!

[gtr_loh]

Damn. Kemp got panic knifed nearly two dozen times. That stupid 17 year old needs to start changing his button layout to tactical.

The Gun? Don't get me started. That rank 17 noob doesn't even have steady aim or sleight of hand unlocked. What a noob, Kemp is obviously a ranked 30 colonel.

/s.

Watch the media spin things around again and put video games in the hands of the killer. Everyone will now think video games create a violent person. This is obviously not true now, as violent people are naturally just......violent people. There is no way to argue that. Many of us who play video games are mellow and calm people who enjoy playing a game to relax after an honest day of work.

TL;DR: Video games don't make violent people. Other news sources will spin this story around to make it so.

[acemonkey]

the title made it sound like somebody travel across states to stab somebody...but they didnt really like each other... this is why ps3 dont have party chats...but thats crazy about showing up and bring a gun and a knife...wounder what they was saying

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I usually keep a tight circle with my gaming community on Xbox. I barely talk or conversate with anyone out of my circle. Too many jerks, loud dumb kids and people who threating you for beating them in a game. Yeah, its bad on Xbox people.

[Treian]

Lol. Whenever someone says something even remotely bad related to the xbox, you go into nerd rage mode and start cussing. I agree, you are a hiporite.

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

It is really depressing how flat out ignorant/insane people are becoming in our world today...

Not saying it's everybody, but it's damn near it!

So many freaking jerkoffs out there!

[NeXXXuS]

Still have yet to see this happening for PS3 lol

[silvacrest]

the guy has got some balls to let someone video tape him topless considering his physique, even if it is only to display stab wounds

but then again, something like 60% of the population is overweight or obese

[elhebbo16]

oh great, now the media has more reason to talk down on gaming. feel sorry for the kid but hey, he learned his lesson. still think 20 stabs was a little over the top.

[Fez]

learned his lesson? you don't even know what happened...

[pwneddemocrat]

I'm not trolling or being immature but i swear if it was a thin person he would have died in that same situation.

This guy should thank god for not hitting the gym because his body really saved him this time. 22 stab wounds for crying out loud. What can possibly trigger a 17-year old boy to stab someone 22 times? Not like he's on a nerve breakdown and just lost a 30-million dollar deal.

This world.

[Knightofelemia]

Usually you hear about pervs hitting on little kids or about annoying 12 yr olds. or dirty old pervs hitting girls who game. But this is what the mute button a d blocking the person is for. This guy had other anger issues this guy was a fire waiting for a match.

[EminemAt3AM]

Sounds like my Friday nights tbh

[ScubaSteve1]

wow the 17 year old screwed up his life

[blackhammer]

Both were dumbasses. One challenges the other to a physical confrontation and then the other has the balls to actually accept the challenge, then kicks it up a notch.

Maybe Kemp has learned a valuable lesson and his friend will learn a valuable lesson in prison. Too bad he likely won't get the rehab he needs.

Never challenge anyone to physical violence over an argument that doesn't really mean anything. It's immature and stupid.

[Shadonic]

Ohh god here we go -_-

[st-BiOZ]

not surprised at all. makes good tv

[BABY-JEDI]

I'm pleased the guy is ok. Hopefully he will be really nice to all his opponents on XBL..
Oh I'm sorry sir for shooting you in the face, really didn't mean it... LoL..

[Puddlejumper75]

Maybe it is just me but I have no sympathy for these people. The internet is not your place to run your mouth and be free from repercussion. 90% of people would not act the way they do if they were standing in front of you.

[DFresh]

If this dude ever tried it at my house he'd be swiss cheese before he evens sets foot in my neighborhood.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

badass confirmed.

[8bitsutra]

Kids these days.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

20 and 17 are hardly children. Should be hanged. ;-)

[Gigglefist]

"An escalating Xbox exchange with no reset button for this real-life run-in. Now it could be game over for the teen who went on the attack."

Classy, news people. Real classy.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

worst puns ever. terrible. haha.

[ThatOneGuyThere]

1) Oakley is a fairly small city with little crime to speak of. This is kind of out of place for the area. (not for Antioch, that place is a wreck) The stabee actually lives like 5 houses from me. This is why I play on PSN. Cross game chat kills gamers. Proven. (kidding obviously)

2) The writer sucks at puns. Hopefully he never uses them again.

3) Guy needs a shirt. Seriously. You're on the news, put a shirt on, its only decent.

[HalfNerdHalfAmazing]

Lol #3 was funny

[ironwolf777]

Someone stabbed Wings Of Redemption???

[dvfaa]

HAHA YOU'RE SO COOL MAKING A FAT JOKE ABOUT SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER MET LIKE OMG WHY CAN'T I BE LIKE YOU?!

[ironwolf777]

Who's making fat jokes? The guy kinda looks like Wings. Issues much?

[HalfNerdHalfAmazing]

Since I started playing call of duty on Xbox live I always heard people say they wanna beat each other up but I never though it would escalate to this

[SovereignSnaKe]

-If Gabe Newell had an estranged son....

[Rhezin]

I hope the little sh!t rots in prison. That generation are all f!cking psychos.

[Summons75]

And this is why if you challenge someone to a fight you need to know you can win the fight. If anything this guy had it coming for challenging his friend to a fight THEN not being able to go through with the fight.

[demetreHG]

Well to the genius that provoked his former friend , you put yourself at risk by being smart- a.............

So happy your still Alive and not hurt more worst , but come on people don't provoke ..cause some idiots out there can care less about you or anybody else for that matter

[ifistbrowni]

so that's what a trash-talker looks like....

must say, i have always wondered

[blakstarz]

Nerd gone wild....glad the other kid is okay though.

[DEEBO]

Man what a crazy story but i would like to comment on all the guys who workout.good job!,keep it up.you're health is so important.I use to be 315lbs,big gut with some muscles but some really bad health issues.now i'm down to 254lbs in less then four half months, with muscles,a four pac lol and better health.i think everyone should do something to keep in shape.walking,weight training,dieting,all of them if you can but do something.I lift weight's every other day and the tredmill everyday.hell! i even use the videogames to help me get (fightnight) ab workout when my fighter goes to his corner.trust me you will love the results,from health to personal appearance.Men'sfitness.co m get it a shot.

[SITH]

A thirteen year old girl could take thickness on in a fight. Some idiot actually needed a knife and gun!? Lmao!

Kids these days, so pathetic.
