Editorial - Murder, Tony Hawk: Ride Cited

Koku Gamer writes: "There are so many questions that should be directed at the family to question their competence and why characters such as Morales were allowed to be near and alone with a young child at the early hours of the morning. Allowing an ex-convict with a violent past to be in close quarters with a child boggles the mind. I seriously doubt that many parents would even entertain the idea of allowing such a circumstance. In no way should a child and an adult criminal be allowed to do anything alone in a room late at night. To believe otherwise is insanity. The debate about games causing aggression and violence will surely rage on for some time and this is just another case of video games being blamed for something when there are other real and apparent causes. The video game is just the most visible suspect. Unfortunately, stupidity is perpetual for some people and over time it causes them to be blind to reality.

What do you guys think, has the media gone desperate blaming as much as a skateboarding game over a murder of a person?"

The Happy Baby5225d ago

do you kill a child over something like this?
jeez...

young juice5225d ago

i agree this guy should be executed, however trying to blame the parents is a bull$hit move. my house is full of convicts and felons are you saying im a crazy moronic dumb@ss for being around them.

Ziriux5225d ago

You're a bad a$$ Juice, what can we say.

Just out of curiosity...do you feel that sex offenders should not have to register...and are you okay with child sex offenders being allowed to be left alone with children?....and/or allowed to work in daycare.

You might not like it...but if this article is correct in what it says..then yes, the parents do have a role in this. I can see if this happened out in the community, but this took place in their home...where they allowed their child to be in close quarters with ex-convict with anger problems. If I as a therapist could be held responsible for a client committing suicide or homicide, then I can definitely understand how the parents can pick up some of the blame for this. For one, this could be seen as neglect if the child was not left with a responsible caregiver.

“He doesn’t act right on the street but he always minded his manners in the house.” Morales, who also goes by the fake name Michael Jacob, has a history of lewd behavior and violent tendencies with dozens of arrests and having spent two years in a state prison for assault.

do you see sex offender or murderer in this paragraph, this man could have been trusted amongst the entire family. then he could have developed some kind of mental illness, or just plain snapped the point is this could have happened to anyone who has a relationship with the culprit.

but i do see what your getting at.

The Happy Baby5225d ago

BACKGROUND CHECKS. Do them.

but i agree with your thought on parents being responsible.
his g-ma is a dumbass.

Yes, a video game was involved, but especially in this case, it could have been anything that triggered this incident. What should be questioned, as always, is the person who did it.

cb8105225d ago

Crazy people are gonna do crazy sh!t whether they play video games or not

Ziriux5225d ago

Exactly, you could have blamed anything in regards to this situation. What puzzles me is what mom or granny would leave a child with this beast.

mrv3215225d ago

But I though video games cause violence.

If Jack Thompson turns this into a anti-video game thing I will be very angry.

My deepest sympathy to a family and I hope the guilty is punished because I really hate it when innocent people get hurt.

Ziriux5225d ago

Pleasee nooooooo don't, not Jack again, too bad, he cant use a kid friendly Tony Hawk game as a way of video game and violence.

Whitefox7895225d ago

That guy is a little too loony to be of any reliability to anyone. For Example.

"In October 2006, Thompson sent a letter to Midway Games, demanding they cease and desist selling the latest game in the Mortal Kombat series, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, claiming that the game was illegally profiting on his likeness, because gamers could use the Kreate a Fighter option to make a character who looked like Jack Thompson. Midway did not cease distribution of the game."

Well sheesh Thompson I could draw a picture of someone ripping your head off in your likeness does that mean your going to ban Art?

I swear to god people sometimes forget America's strongest factor the 1st Amendment. "Freedom of Speech, Press, and Exercise of Religion". That covers just about all the bases.

BonhamZ0S05225d ago

This Turd of a game, along with this guy's problems, finally pushed the guy over the edge. Its a shame the way people are acting these days.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
