Dude STABS mother who stops him gaming.

In the narrative of the attack the boy, Ionut Savin, stabbed his mother (on her 16th wedding anniversary, no less), then looted the home of its money and went to an Internet cafe to get his Counter-Strike fix. The woman’s lifeless body was found by her husband, and Savin turned himself in to authorities quickly thereafter. He’s now under armed guard at a psychiatric hospital.

This naturally has mobilised the Romanian media, because there’s nothing worse than a kid with 200 absences from school and no friends snapping in such an unpredictable way. It doesn’t justify a murder, but by their own reporting, the warning signs were plenty.

Counter-Strike? Really? There's people in the world still playing Counter-Strike? To the point that if they don't play it, they'll get all stab-happy? 
 
What's with all the stabbing recently anyway? A few weeks back a woman stabbed a kid wouldn't stop gaming and now this? 
 
Can't wait for the Fox News story:  A GAME CALLED 'COUNTING STRIKE' TEACHES YOU TO KILL. 
 
And then hopefully we'll see the return of Jack... 
 

Doesn't Romania have cyber cafes?

Holy crap.

A Russian guy killed another player in a fight over counter strike last year.  A divisive game I guess. 

Team kill.

" Guess what - this is what addiction does to a human being. It's not like crackheads don't stab people for money so they can get another fix.The signs were numerous, the parents handled it wrong. Let's just hope the media doesn't use this to bash gaming once more as they always do. "

He did all this over Counter Strke? Good thing he never got his hands on MW2!  
AM I RIGHT!?!?!?! Thanks, youve been a great audience.

Did he run faster to the internet cafe because he was holding a knife?

You go way too far! 

Counterstike's still a thing.
 
Huh.

What a fucking stupid kid - this is what happens when there are no caps set when the kids are young.  If he was raised not allowed to play those violent games at such a young age, maybe this would have turned out differently.

This is conclusive evidence that we need to BAN all games, under punishment of death.

Fuuuuuuck.

We have completely abandoned intellectual discussion in favor of tasteless jokes. This is why we can't have nice things.

US is way worse as far as crazy motherfuckers go. You already forgot Virginia Tech, did ya? "

Sounds like the kid had the right idea, am I wrong people? 
 
In all seriousness that is absolutely horrible, it sounds to me like this child had some serious mental issues that should've been brought to the attention of a doctor.

i do that shit all the time

he probably heard humiliation after he did it :P 
 
i feel kind of bad for typing that. 
 
people have problems when they can't use the internet. he must be good at it if he is still playing the game.

Again, already posted.

Based on the 5 minutes I played of Counter-Strike Source - I am honestly not surprised. No offence to the casual players of the game, but to the hardcore fans... you know who you are.

What's worse is the kid was adopted... The adoptive parents were kind enough to give this kid a normal life but he didn't appreciate that... I say to hell with him. Throw him in prison for life.

I wish you idiots would stop using stories where people died or were nearly killed to push your petty childish agenda. I get it, you don't think games have any kind of influence, shut up.

Oh you mean where the South Korean born shooter went on a killing spree. Oh yeah, swell insight. No really, its great you didn't even bother to check that. "

Seems to me like the adopted parents missed the ball on this one. Just don't let it get out of control in the first place.

He was an American citizen, that's all that matters. And yeah, the Columbine kids weren't American at all... "

Mentally unbalanced person kills mother, robs her and then goes to play a game.  Game to be blamed.  News at 10.

Dude - people have been stabbed for a lot of reasons. How many men have stabbed a woman because of their lifes and personalities being totally dependent on her? Jealousy creating totally batshit crazy axemurderers?
 
Woman gets killed because of her trying to leave her man. Man gets poisoned for being clingy, needy and abusive. MISGUIDED LOVE KILLS AGAIN! BAN IT NOW! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
 
People suck. Yes - all of them. You too. And me. Just give it some time! So - kill all emotion and live in the movie 'Equilibrium'? You chose! I surely would love me some drug enhanced gun kata skillz.

as I recall from my experiences in korea...this is called  an OFFLINE PK

kewl

Gotta love that Jack.
