Halo kid...dead?

im not either...but kids should be taught gun safety.

primateface

While I do sympathize with the child's family, I can't help but wonder why they let their child fool around with a real gun.

When I was 11 years old I was completely aware that real guns could kill me. And yes, though others have said kids can't grasp the concept of life and death, I assure you that when I was 11 I knew what death meant. I knew how finalizing it is, and even though I was a christian then, the thought of going to heaven did not make me fear death less. So I didn't fool around with real guns. Simple as that.

Hmm, I wonder where he'll respawn now?MGSFan92

Sad yet Halarious.....Suicide!

My condolences to the family...

Though my opinions on things being desensitised for kids is mixed. Violence is always glorified, especially in the mainstream media, so of course people who have not matured - or aren't mature in general are not going to think of the consequences surrounding things as simple as guns or for instance - war.

You could say video games do the same - and have such an affect on certain people. Ironically it was games - for me - among other forms of media - games broke down the glorification barrier - particularly ones like Operation Flashpoint, simply because of the incredibly realistic nature combat, and human vulnerability portrayed.

Wow, what a stupid kid, and parents.

Gun safety courses are either recommended or required for children of that age in most states. Why he didn't take one shows that maybe this is simply natural selection at work.

Well the real question is where were the parents in all of this?

but i pray that the family is ok

apparently trying to imitate moves from the game with his .22 caliber rifle (a common pastime for the child).

Wow, parents?

Pray for him and his parents.-Ninja_Dog-

Yea that will help..:roll:

Waits for what? People like that that are stupid enough to play with a real gun should not live. People who waist time playing games and skipping shchool desrve this. People should add to socirty and make things better. This kid waS A WASTE AND DESERVED TO DIE. Human's are pathetic.

Don't be fooled by religion?

Last time I checked, they weren't the ones that were quick to assume Halo kid this young kid.

And seriously, -Ninja_Dog- only wants to help the family in his own way. What the hell are you doing to make the situation better?

I don't see how some of you can place humor into this.

[QUOTE="stereointegrity"]how do they kno he was imitating halo of no one was home...or is this just the media trying to badmouth video games againDark-Pain

Wether it was Halo or not he deserved to die. That kid deserved to die. Playing with guns , he knew it would end bad. He killed himself and guesswhat becasue of his stupitiy gamers will have to pay for it eventually.

How dare you say another human being deserved to die especially a kid who had an accident, a tragic and fatal accident maybe but still an accident. I'm guessing you're one of those perfect people who've never made mistake in their lives?

I ran out into the road when i was 8 and got ran over by a car, i wasnt seriously injured or anything but its still a silly mistake to make, would you of condemned me to death for being a child and making mistakes ?

For all we know the kid was very responsible with the gun usually, he may have had a great attendance record and this was a rare occurance for him to be off school, he just so happened to act like a child (which he is ... a child) and it ended tragically. Do you think the parents will find it easy to live with themselves now?, hell no they'll never ever get over this.

Get a bit of humanity Dark-Pain, empathy is one of the things that seperate humans from the rest of the animals.

Me neither I feel kinda bad laughing at that comment on the first page, though I don't mean ill for the family.

I guess it was just the wrong thing to say at exactly the right time.

Hmm, I wonder where he'll respawn now?MGSFan92

LMFAO. I'm sorry...I already know I'm going to hell along with you, but that was pretty funny.

Who the hell gave him the gun?

And how did he get it?

Did the parents know that he had it?

Congrats to his retarded parents for holding a gun at a approachable place.IgGy621985

Well said man. And I agree with you 100%. I hope everyone who made a joke about this tragic news doesnt believe in Karma.

Nothing to do with Halo. It's your country's gun culture that causes this kind of stuff, just like it caused Columbine High and Virginia Tech. chutup

Hard truth....but still truth none the less.

Is there an actual reason why the gun was loaded in the first place? Did he know how to load the weapon?Ilived

obviously he wasn't taught that a bullet remains in the chamber despite removing the clip in some models. i absolutely blame the parents on this one. it's one thing to buy your child a weapon, it's another to lock it up with trigger locks and put it on a rack instead of just hiding it from your son.

To the kid-

1. Why are you playing with a gun instead of just........... playing halo?

2. Why the hell would you point it at yourself?

To the parents-

1. Why does he have access to a gun?

2. Why the **** do you keep a loaded gun in your house?

Lemmywinks_360

I've gotta blame this pretty much 100% on the parents, he's 11, they let him play an M rated game, they kept a loaded gun in their house, the article said it was common he'd play with the gun, and they let him skip school. Bad parenting all round if you ask me.

Well said man. And I agree with you 100%. I hope everyone who made a joke about this tragic news doesnt believe in Karma.

carljohnson3456

you know what man, veiled threats using Karma are just as bad as what some people are doing in this thread. anyone that believes in Karma wouldn't wish ill Karma upon anyone - because guess what that gets you :P (aside from the idea being reprehensible to anyone that DOES believe).

i know you're upset about what some people are saying, but you don't have to go dragging Karma through the mud to offend any Sikh, Buddhist, or Hindu that may be in this thread.

thanks

Wow, I said "they better not believe in karma".

Funny how out of all the offensive things to call out in this thread, you pick what I said to reply to. :roll:

But yeah, I dont want to offend anybody. If that comment was really out of line, I apologize and didnt mean to offend anybody.

Is there a reason you are being so overbearingly morose or is that just the way you are?

Yes there is a reason. Kid dies of stupidity and it ends up on the news. Why should have sympathy for a person like that? Maybe for a person who died saving others yes that would be sad. But not this. My ideologies are diffrent.

I actually somewhat agree, he doesnt really deserve sympathy. I feel bad and all.. But... He shot himself acting like master chief, while other people get shot saving their squad in Iraq. One person dies for the lifes of others, While the other dies in an alternate reality.
