Okay, not saying I'm a major gamer or anything and I absolutely LOVE Halo 3, but COME ON! ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!! I am disgusted and incredulous. This is a 17 year old, a pretty much grown man! If his parents banned a violent video game from him, they have reason. If he didn't like the decision(which we all know he didn't) then he could've waited until he was 18 or whatever, moved the hell out, and then he could play it anytime he wanted. Now, (I Hope) he gets to spend the rest of his adult life behind bars, where he CANNOT play Halo 3. The sinister way in which he decided to play his cards is deeply disturbing. "I've got a surprise for you?" This is his mother, the woman who gave him life, his father, the man who he wouldn't exist without. It should not be based on religion, "he could only be wound so tight?" get over it! Definitely not, this piece of shit should get harsh punishment and imprisonment with no parole or anything. Do not blame religion, do not blame parenting, do not blame video games. Blame Daniel Pertic and noone else, because noone else is to blame. I am 15 and I'm addicted to the game Bioshock, if, for whatever reason my mother (who's not too crazy for Bioshock) tells me to call it quits, yeah I'm going to be pissed, and probably even throw stuff around but I will not kill my parent over it, uh-uh no sir not today! As for the family, I understand that you love him, but he killed his mother, your sister, your daughtter, your lover, your friend; and you just want to take him back, I just don't see how, I can't see how. I'm sorry for your loss.
