News Seems that in Johnstown Colorado two teens, 16 and 17, killed a 7 year old girl supposedly by using “Mortal Kombat” moves. If you’re visiting PTT, you better damn well know what Mortal Kombat is, so I’ll skip the explanation. Lamar Roberts, 17, and Heather Trujillo, 16, each received adult charges of felony child abuse causing death. The victim was Heather Trujillo’s half sister, Zoe Garcia.
It seems they teens were drunk, and Zoe had begged the older two to stop wrestling with her, but they didn’t. According to the affidavit, an autopsy was conducted and revealed that Zoe had several dozen bruises, a broken wrist, bleeding in her neck muscles, bleeding under her spine, and swelling of the brain. When Roberts was questioned about why he didn’t stop beating his friends sister, he said “I don’t know, I was drunk”.
If these two are convicted, they face 48 years in prison.
I’m pretty sure the time for blaming video games for being a stupid ass has passed. There’s no evidence that they were imitating any game, it seems that they were playing games around the time that this took place. Prosecutors say they were imitating Mortal Kombat… when’s the last time somebody played Mortal Kombat?!
I feel bad for the girl, I really do, it’s horrible that a life ended so soon because some punk has brain damage. So let’s go ahead and throw video games out the window. That leaves us with drunk. My aching ass. I know alcohol affects everyone in different ways, no matter how plastered I get, I always keep my keys on me, because I won’t even get in a car if I’m drunk, and I don’t want anyone taking my car. Ask anyone I’ve drank with, I may do stupid crap, but I won’t put lives at risk.
So you expect me to believe this toolbox was drunk enough to kill his friends little sister? If he’s the drunk one (no solid information on the older sister) why didn’t Trujillo step in and put a stop to it.
How were they drunk enough to kill the girl, but clever enough to try to revive her by running her head under cold water and giving her CPR before calling the mother?
So alcohol is now out of the picture, because being so drunk you kill the girl but being sober enough to try to save her is a pure contradiction.
That leaves us with a jackass looking for a way out. 48 years, make it life, and put his ass in there, he’ll go straight from Fatality to Brutality in the showers.
This kind of thing shows how troublemakers, prosecutors, and the media play on the sadly misinformed society. Why is there no mainstream political movement about video games not being the root of all evil?
