Sweetpumper Posted July 17, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Police: Pa. Boy Stabs Brother Over Game Jul 17 01:16 PM US/Eastern LANSDOWNE, Pa. (AP) - A 13-year-old boy fatally stabbed his brother with a steak knife after the 16-year-old refused to turn over a video game controller, authorities said. Jahmir Ricks was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Antwan Ricks at their home outside Philadelphia. The older boy died of a single stab wound to the chest, police said, and a bent and bloody knife was recovered from the home. Lansdowne police said the younger boy told them, "I just stabbed my brother," when they arrived at the home Sunday. Police believe the argument started when Antwan Ricks would not turn over the game controller after losing a game to his brother. Police Chief Daniel Kortan said the rules of the house were that the person who lost had to give someone else a chance to play. The argument escalated into a brawl, and the younger boy grabbed the knife, Kortan said. Antwan Ricks was pronounced dead at a hospital. Jahmir Ricks, who was charged as an adult, was being held without bail. It was not immediately known if he had obtained an attorney. He faces charges of third-degree murder, assault, recklessly endangering another person and possession of instruments of crime. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8...;show_article=1 Edited July 17, 2007 by Sweetpumper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauthe Doog Posted July 19, 2007 #12 Share Posted July 19, 2007 That kind of violence over something as worthless a a video game is morbidly grotesque! Video games, of course, influence violence, and parents are (sometimes) aware of that, but after stabbing someone just to get a controller?! That, members of Unexplained Mysteries, is absolutely immature! May the 16 year old rest in peace and hopefully, that little brat of a 13 year old will spend the rest of his days in solitary confinement.

swtp Posted July 19, 2007 #16 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Used to be kids would just call each other a few choice names and throw a few punches now and then, now they kill their sibling or anyone else that bugs them at the momment which also puts an end to any chance at a normal life for themselves! It,s tragic and it,s stupid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Erchamion Posted July 19, 2007 #21 Share Posted July 19, 2007 why? Why? WHY? WHY IS THE WORLD LIKE THIS? It is sad............. WHERE IS THE LOVE???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauthe Doog Posted July 20, 2007 #22 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I feel ya', Romeo. I feel like the world is now a bitter, dark place now with no love or care. Just violence and more violence. I mean, I'm a game hog. But I would never stab someone, especially someone who is related to be, for a video game. When things like this get out of hand, I need to run away in a place of peace and quiet. Turn off the lights, and just think to myself: "What has this world come to?" Violence. We shouldn't be making war. More bombs, more war, more violence. Annihilation. Sadly, since I'm only 12/1, nobody ever believes me. Nobody EVER listens to the kids, especially adults. I tell somebody something interesting, they just say "That's fine," and push me away. Then as I'm going somewhere, they say "Kids these day, you know?" So then I decided not to announce any reports, eyewitness accounts, or sightings of monsters, UFOs, ghosts or anything like that to anyone I know. Only Believers are my friends now. That was like 5 years ago, when I became a Believer. Nobody thinks of Unexplained Phenomenon in my family anymore. And I'm happy with that, just to shut them up and keep the Unsolved and Discovered to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
