Weeping Infant Killed For Disturbing Dad's Gaming Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 NEXT | |
As this chart clearly demonstrates.
Before the advent of video games, no babies were ever shaken because of emotionally disturbed and frustrated parents. | |
Protip; buy a pair of noise cancelling headphones. | |
This just makes me sad. That poor child. And this totally has nothing to do with video games, but of course the media will spin it that way. If what the story says is true he probably had some video game addiction problems, but that's all about him, not the game. This man was a horrible father, probably not all that great a person, and probably had some issues. Shaking a baby is an all too common problem though. Parents just lose it sometimes. I hope he gets a just punishment and never breeds again. | |
We DON'T have an overpopulation problem and we never will. To say that we have or are going to have is to completely misunderstand how population demographics work. What we have is a population distribution problem and in the western world, an ageing population. Neither of which could be solved by a sterilisation program. And it would actually make the latter worse. That's not to say I'm completely against the idea, I think there should certainly be some sort of standards test that has to be taken before being legally allowed to have a child. Taking into account mental health and monetary situation aswell as testing basic parental knowledge. But that's not to solve some mythical population problem, it's purely for the well being of the child. Because far too many children are born into abusive, neglectful and incapable homes. And in all truth, some sort of agency could probably have predicted it in most cases. Not quite sure how such an agency would operate. But one can but dream. | |
Maybe this is why I'm told I'm handsome. Some guys out there look disgusting. And it's a real shame... I bet the baby was unwanted. Who wants a kid at 20? That's ridiculous. | |
You know if he ever played the babysitting game for Wii then I would blame that. I think there's a part there where you're supposed to shake the baby. ... I'm going to hell for that one, aren't I? Seriously though, this really makes me sad. I hate when people unfit to take care of children actually get to take care of children. Really the mother would be better off raising it alone than having someone like that around. | |
Most people's mug shots aren't that faltering, and really what the fuck did that have to do with the thread? I don't think this guy killed his child because he had a double chin and a neckbeard. | |
I knew it. Fat people are, at their cores, heartless and evil. | |
Honestly, it was probably more of a case of the father not knowing how incredibly lethal it is to shake a baby. I sure as hell didn't know that shaking a baby could even harm a kid, let alone KILL one, until a news story on an old gaming forum my senior year of high school. This guy being twenty, and looking like an idiot, that's my guess for why this guy would do it. Shitty situation, if so. | |
It had nothing to do with the main topic. Is there a problem? | |
I want to say something reasonable, or angry, or darkly sarcastic... but right now, all I can think of is "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" World, I've never really expected much from you, and yet still you continue to fail me. How low do you wish my expectations to be? No, I'm not even angry. I'm just disappointed. | |
It just seemed like an incredibly stupid thing to say. 'I'm totally hotter than that fat neck bearder.' | |
You win 1 internets. | |
Well. Good thing you were here, I guess. I'm egotistical, let me have this D: | |
This whole article has me quite shak-- No! NO! BAD! ...Ahem. Figures the guy's a neckbeard. Just as the medium starts taking steps forward, some modern day Da Vinci like our friend here pops up and sends us all back to mom's basement. | |
Guy doesn't look to be the smartest puppy in the litter. I'd say from the details that this sort of thing is shocking, but also somewhat inevitable. Young men who help sport offspring need to realize that there are far more important things in life. Crying babies always go before gaming marathons. Not that the video games led to the death of the child. It's completely in the court of the guy's inability to make the correct choices. He actively chose that marathoning his addiction to electronic fantasy worlds was more important than his kid, and that shaking babies somehow meant that it would make them stop crying. That man seriously needs a fist to the face. | |
Hrm. Well yes I am in firm support of stringing this guy up and ending him in the most imaginatively painful way possible *First suggestion is allow him to beaten to death by a gathering of children in the form of the Pinata of Justice. They simply keep beating him until all the stupid comes spewing out. How do you not know that shaking a baby is not good for it. An infant is not a bottle of Orange Juice. In a sense however, perhaps this is for the best. Look at this guy. Clearly hes a moron and definitely not a looker. The girl he procreated with could not have been much of a prize herself, so in all likelihood we didnt loose the cure for cancer with the offspring. There is the possibility but the numbers do not lend themselves to it. So trying to remain positive, perhaps through his idiocy the guy spared his offspring a lifetime of pain and stupidity while it was still too young to suffer from it. | |
I never want kids but if a child happened upon my life *knock on wood* I'm pretty sure as terrible of a father I would be I wouldn't come close to harming the child. Seriously turn of the console/computer and tend to your offspring. They be quiet most of the time anyways so whats a few hours most of the day if you are spending 60% of it playing games. God I hope I'm sterile. | |
Am I the only one who noticed that this guy bears a striking resemblance to the fellow in the "Scumbag Steve" meme? | |
A minute silence for the kid. I have to wonder though: how often does this happen when the parents are junkies, alcoholics or just abusive? I never see news stories about those horrible people. Yeah it's good that horrible people get singled out, but why don't more horrible people get singled out? | |
There was also the one where a guy's girlfriend went into labor in the car. He took the newborn in his arms, said "I'll take care of this", took her round the back, set her down and dropped a cinder block on her head. Fucking hell, people. That said, I'm willing to accept that OP was probably an accident. He's still a grade A douche, though. Edit: Am I the only one who checked this thread out of concern due to one of the escapist users recently making a thread about how he hadn't developed an emotional bond to his newborn son, and his gaming time was next to nothing? | |
Yep, it's Scumbag Steve, about two years of steady PBR binging later. Honestly, the guy screwed up a sterling occasion to prove he could act like a mature adult. Should a responsible parent: Anyone who answers B or even an extremely adulterated version of B fails as a human being. You can't have a kid and keep living the same exact life of general carelessness you led before. Kids require sacrifice and an incredible amount of personal concessions. Until the mites learn to walk and talk, you won't so much as eat, sleep or go to work if it doesn't benefit them. Gaming? Honestly? Most of the friends I have who *used* to be avid gamers had to give up the hobby almost entirely for years on end, just to their mites would have a sufficiently good start in life. Then there's the fact that honestly, today's early twenty-somethings are basically living a second set of teens. I can count the mature and responsible ones I know on the fingers of one hand. | |
Looks like he played a bit too much baby shaker on his iPhone
Blame apple! | |
Honestly I'm ok with this. The dad helped bring the kid into the world. He should have every right to take him out of it whenever and however he wants. | |
What if instead of video games he read books during that time. Would that be reported, I wonder? | |
Plentyoffish.com, eventually, someone will go out with you man, I thought the same thing, I have been on dates with 5 diffrent people in 4 months, one went for over a month, but yeah, it works, be wary of those with multiple profiles though(they are crazy) | |
Well that's not... he has no right to kill a defenseless infant. Even if I agreed with your kid hatred, shouldn't he have to talk with the other person who was involved in the birth, you know, the mother, before doing anything? | |
If you have kids at 20 or younger, chances are you're a loser. | |
Your in denial, one of the few things enviromentalists are right about is dwindling resources. They really aren't kidding about the rate at which rain forests (and forests in general) are disappearing, or how The Middle East is inevitably going to run out of oil at the rate of current consumption, never mind if it raises production to meet increasing international demand from nations like China. Then you have things like metals, and the sheer number of mines that are getting tapped out to meet demands for ore, leading to people trying to find more mines, and when that isn't possible literally tearing into the planet for trace elements that can be extracted, which also hurts the abilliy of the planet to produce new veins of ore and replentish what was tapped out to begin with. The differance between me and the enviromentalists is that they are concerned about the enviroment in of itself, where my point of view is more humaneocentric in how simply running out of these things is going to effect us. The bottom line is more people, means more resources needed to support those people at a decent standard of living. Those resources don't just appear magically, they all have to come from somewhere. I understand your points, and they would be valid if it wasn't for greater concerns. Rather the fallout of reducing the population as I suggest is one of the problems we are going to have to deal with to solve even bigger problems. Economics and the relative ages of people and their abillity to produce are big deals, until you consider that you need to have societies in existance for that to matter. The point I'm making is that we're heading for a collapse caused by too many people for the planet to support, a catastrophe far bigger than the one your talking about. Basically, in a worst case scenario along with the birth control we might have to impose a policy where anyone above a certain age who isn't productive is to be executed, and keep that going for a few generations. You might be going "OMG, that's evil" and according to current morality you'd be right. It brings to mind all kinds of facist dark future fiction, "Logan's Run" being just the tip of that ice berg. However when your talking about the survival of the species you have to prioritize. That said, I think the problem while a big one, is not something that would have to be handled by anti-geriatric death squads, that's just a worse case scenario. In short, your correct on things getting bad, but one sad truth of this sucky world is that things generally have to get worse, before they can get better. | |
1. Matter of opinion. 2. Nope. Though I also feel that the mother could have killed the kid without talking to the dad as well. | |

Some people just can't put the needs of others before their own can they. Rather than take some time out from him gaming to give his child what he needed or at the very least give him to his mother he goes ahead and kills him. I'm curious to know what he did after he realised the child was dead. | |
from the sound of it, i don't think it was intentional. i think this dude is just a complete f***ing idiot. | |
YES!!! Espesially with the Zimmerman thing, the biggest SO population I know of, that place makes me sick. CAPTCHA: whoops a daisy, Escapist, you have a sick sense of humor. | |

Maybe it's an idea to put a sticker that reads 'DON'T SHAKE' on a child's head the minute it's born.
It would drastically reduce infant deaths, I would think.
