- phpirate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7And they says its games that cause violence...
- MakutaBloodlust, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Games do cause violence. by parents.
- pyrox420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Best quote in the article... "Langenderfer is in the Pinellas County jail charged with one count of attempted murder, (accused of trying to kill his son, not the computer.)" Lol!
- midge_77, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Where else but Florida...
- uptown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4... Germany or Florida... those are the two options.
- RobertHodgen, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1ya, only in Florida would a dad bring a gun into an argument...
- Mutton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Does he always pack heat while arguing with his son? Scary.
- jknight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Dang it, you should have included the word RIAA in the title. It would be on the home page already.
Something like: " Dad Shoots at computer because of son's gaming. Was the RIAA involved?"
lol - zestcitron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The kid plays a Troll...like father like son.
- JasonHilton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Woah, I live in Clearwater, just south of Dunedin. That guy (and family) has some serious issues.
- en3r0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Looks like it's time someone gets a job... Then he can get an apartment and play in peace.
- nlatimer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I wish my dad had done something like this when I 12 to get me off the computer, I'd probably be considerably less addicted today.
- GhengisKhan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dad missed.
- Glanzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Too bad the dad didn't t know anything about computers. He could have restricted access to the Internet and given his kid access as a reward or taken it away as punishment. That's what I do with my kids using a Linux NAT and some scripted cron files. I turn their access on/off on a scheduled basis or ad hoc from my pc at work.
An another note... I think too many parents react to what their kids do instead of setting some clear guidelines with clear punishments and rewards. Kids hate being punished for things they didn't know about or that weren't clearly explained to them. - infermon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Look at the guy's mugshot. Redneck
- LaviLicious, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wouldn't anyone rather play video games than do chores?
- acariquara, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2digg needs a "Florida" section.
- unitedstatians, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a comment on gamespot forums:"The dad needs to play more games because.
1: He wouldn't have missed. and
2: he would have been busy playing games instead of shooting real guns."
