- inactive, on 03/25/2008, -55/+242He probably spent his life savings on that 360, understandable.
- bahdisherian, on 03/25/2008, -30/+210He looks innocent, i am sure he`s being framed!
- EndersGame21, on 03/25/2008, -3/+172And GTA 4 isn't even out yet...
- ImpoliteAndEvil, on 04/06/2009, -7/+169What a monster! Some people really shouldn't procreate.
- pimpofpixels, on 03/25/2008, -12/+149I wish Dick Cheney had broken his XBox.
- Nurven, on 03/25/2008, -2/+96games don't kill people, people kill people
- mentallyinhell, on 03/25/2008, -6/+90I've heard of a few cases like this, its always an xbox.
- TimmyGUNZ, on 03/25/2008, -0/+81He'll have his own red ring when he's in Federal "Pound Me in the Ass" prison.
- mourne, on 03/25/2008, -14/+89I really doubt it would have made much of a difference. Death penalty doesn't work as a deterrent for murder. It might for the rational person, but chances are he was in such a rage that even if the death penalty was in place, it would have occurred to him at that time.
Besides that fact that you're just encouraging a cycle of murder. But that's another topic for another time. I'm just saying that the death penalty has proven to not be a valid 'deterrent'. - mogebier, on 03/25/2008, -1/+63It doesn't say it was a 360. It might have been a crappy old X-Box.
- dulymachine, on 03/25/2008, -2/+63WHY WEREN'T YOU PROGRAMMING?!?!!??!
- psg188, on 03/25/2008, -0/+57Well don't you remember the people being shot in line for PS3?
- TriZz, on 03/25/2008, -6/+61In prison...justice will be served. Inmates torture those that are 'in' for child related crimes...many inmates have children of their own that they dearly miss. Don't worry, Digg...he'll get his.
- godplaysdnd, on 03/25/2008, -3/+52Time for the Chewbacca defense!
- SSUK, on 03/25/2008, -0/+44Compiling...
- inactive, on 03/25/2008, -10/+54This happened 2 years ago, the article is just wrong.
I know because I remember reading this in programming class. - annflower, on 03/25/2008, -2/+45I remember the case when the boy had killed his sister because of she killed his tamagochi:(
- TriZz, on 03/25/2008, -5/+46I don't think it has to do with race...look at the guy, he looks like a dude whose Xbox you DO NOT ***** with.
- makemoneynotart, on 03/25/2008, -3/+41The comments on the site are better than the written story:
"mom of 2 said:
I also PRAY FOR STRONG BLACK LEADERS AND STRONG WHITE LEADERS ALL OVER THE WORLD!" - chris9902, on 03/25/2008, -10/+485 comments and no red ring joke... huh.
- emptyo, on 03/25/2008, -1/+39Dugg for the argument that happens AFTER the story in the comments section.
- alex1015, on 03/25/2008, -0/+28The article mentions that he was sentenced, not that it just happened. The submitter here was just a little misleading
- redscofield, on 03/25/2008, -1/+28it's pretty obvious from the comments on the page that Memphis is a pretty ignorant place to live...
- smackthenun, on 03/25/2008, -2/+28i can't believe people would do that to an infant. what an *****.
- apophenic, on 03/26/2008, -5/+31POWER CHORD!!!
- TimmyGUNZ, on 03/25/2008, -5/+30Why would it be? Shes' 17 months old. Obviously she's outgrown the games designed for the Wii.
- jemka, on 03/25/2008, -35/+57If the punishment for hitting your kid to death was death, this might not have happened. I'm all for innocent until proven guilty, but if you're guilty and not a retard by the clinical definition, then you should be put down like all other rabid animals are. ***** your rights. The second you endangered or removed someone else's rights, you lost all of yours.
[Steps off soapbox.] - silveravnt, on 03/25/2008, -0/+22I cant digg you enough.
- okaroleo, on 03/25/2008, -1/+21i think you mean cocaine is a hell of a drug...
- rondorondorondo, on 03/25/2008, -2/+22Wow, only took 1.5 years to convict/sentence him? Seems like a bigger underlying issue here.
- Brettus, on 03/25/2008, -3/+22How in the hell does this comment have +74 diggs?
- gremlinchief, on 03/25/2008, -3/+22What's up with Philadelphia and Xbox's now?
- mourne, on 03/25/2008, -2/+20I completely agree that he should never go free. Our justice system needs reworking when it comes to penalties. A person caught pissing in public can be charged with severe jail time and be forced to be on the Megan's law list, but my fiance's rapist convicted father gets 8 months in the non "pound me in the ass prison".
I just don't think the death penalty is the answer. Locking someone up forever, sure. Throw away the damn key. I don't believe someone like this will EVER be a productive member of society.
My main reason for being against the death penalty are all the false positives. How often is it to see lately that convicted poeple, even on deathrow, are being set free because of DNA evidence that wasn't available during the original trials.
Even if there is 1 false positive, it's too much. Murder is murder, even if we're on the 'righteous' side. Don't get me wrong, I'm not some peace loving hippy and I'm just talking about the justice system. Not other areas of life, such as war. - bjornski, on 03/25/2008, -1/+18No kidding. They make the Digg flamewars seem like a calm, civil discussion.
The ignorance there is staggering. - bobalien, on 03/25/2008, -0/+16you're just saying that because he has a beard!
- Nitrodist88, on 03/25/2008, -0/+16Yeah, child killers get the VIP treatment in prison.
- Anthem26, on 03/25/2008, -9/+25digg me down
- annflower, on 03/25/2008, -1/+16I get rid of tamagochi. I was afraid of something lives in my pocket:)
- cawpin, on 03/25/2008, -3/+18Red ring? Hell, I'd be worried about the brown star myself.
- Nitrodist88, on 03/25/2008, -1/+14How can you people possibly digg him down? He *ducked* it.
- gulpy, on 03/25/2008, -7/+20Why are people like this allowed to breed?
- VinceNoir, on 03/25/2008, -0/+13Dick Cheney deserves worse.
- davidsmero, on 03/25/2008, -1/+13Xbox's? I always thought the plural was Xboxen.
- endustry, on 03/25/2008, -0/+12The word is milquetoast. But hey, if you like milk with your toast and your honkey ass, who am I to say you can't have them.
- mourne, on 03/25/2008, -2/+14Also, I will say that I'd be more inclined to agree with you in cut and dry cases like this, but it's rarely this trivial. And who knows? Maybe someone else did beat his child and he is innocent? My point is that we can't be 100% sure. Even if we're 99.9% sure, that .1% is still someone's life we're gambling with.
- VinceNoir, on 03/25/2008, -2/+14Nope... grew up in an integrated neighborhood which is now predominantly black. I currently live in an inner ring suburb which is about three minutes from the black "ghettos" of Cleveland. And... you meant "latter" not "former".
- TheMidnight, on 03/25/2008, -0/+11http://xkcd.com/303/
- TimmyGUNZ, on 03/25/2008, -5/+16It has to be a 360. The original Xbox is so heavy that it would've pulled the girl down.
