Killed Over a Video Game

Video games are popular with nearly every age group around the world. The world becomes a little darker every time I hear a story about a child (or an adult) killed over a video game. Whether the death comes from being addicted to the game — or is the result of a murder, this is unacceptable.
When 15-year-old Olivier Baptiste refused to hand over the video game he was playing to his 18-year-old friend William Suarez, Suarez pulled out a .32-caliber Smith and Wesson from his waistband and shot Baptiste in the head. (link)
Not only is there one lost life, but there is a ruined life and two destroyed families here. This is all because a teenager refused to hand over a video game to his friend. Parents need to work with their children and let them know that there are certain things in life that simply are not worth causing a ruckus over.
This is a very, very sad story.

i dont think the videogame is to blame i mean this was a case of someone wanting something that was thiers and wasnt being given back. It could of been over a cd or any other form of property.
