A 17-year-old boy who lost three games of FIFA against his brother later broke into the home of a 65-year-old woman and, armed with an knife and an axe, stabbed the woman several times in the back, stomach and leg.

i personally have no problem with this story, this is a free country, if he wants to go on an axe rampage, i say good for him. and really, who among us hasn't lost 3 games in a row and wanted to go postal? i know i once lost 2 chess games in a row and wanted to tear someone a new one, now i'll remember to bring an axe with me to the game.

all kidding aside, this is a real tragedy, i'm not blaming the video game nor the booze, obviously something is very wrong with that kid, i'm sure there had to be signs before this, its just too bad no one noticed them until it was too late.

You don't have to blame the video game - his parents surely will. After all, with all the wonderous technology we have these days why the hell should anybody be bothered to do some actual parenting?
Doom and KMFDM are the reason Kleebold and Harris went on a kiling spree at their high school - poor (or NO) parenting certainly had nothing to do with it.... every high school student deserves a BMW, right? give 'em what they want (EXCEPT ANY KIND OF POSITIVE ATTENTION) and they'll leave you alone.

I like how they say "Later"...

How much later ?

An hour ? 2 hours ? 3 or 4 hours later ?

Maybe he had went to the bathroom in that time and was constipated and that's why he freaked out and went on a rampage ?

Maybe he had stopped at BK and they put pickles on his burger when he specifically said NO PICKLES!!

I like how they throw in the circumstance of "losing a game" like it was the cause.
Good thing he was not playing GTA!!!
LOL!!

Those familiar with Callaghan said that he had a history of violence after consuming alcohol. Callaghan, who is now termed a schizophrenic,

Well there ya go!!!

He's the type of person that should not be drinking alcohol at all regardless of what he is doing!!

I have an ex like that, half a pint to a pint of whiskey and at 5' 6", 115lbs she will take on a 6' 5" 280lb anyone for any reason!!


Some people should just not touch the stuff under any circumstances!!

Lost 3 games, and 4 years later went on a spree. Must've been the game.
