I usually believe in rehabilitation over incarceration and am against trying kids as adults except in the most extreme cases, but I really think this is an exceptional case. 20-30 years, no probation, at the minimum. What do you think?

Hard labor for 30 years then resurrect some old native American torture techniques and put him out of his misery. Or blame the gun!

Too bad he didn't shoot himself instead. Sad but true!
That's why you need some type of gun safe when you have kids of all ages in the house.

To your second point...yep. That action would have saved an innocent man's life.

Don't start with that.....I play video games but I wouldn't kill in real life. That's a pathetic scape goat argument

The Japanese are huge video game players, yet they have a fraction of the murders.

Murders overall are way down compared to their peaks in the 70s and 80's, and that was long before video games.

Finally, humans have been murdering each other since the first human, from small scale like this kid, to massive industrialized killing like the Nazis. Fact is, many humans are just scum, video games have nothing to do with that.

Death penalty.
Unsure why his life is valued on any level.
Particularly to the opinion that he can be rehabilitated.
He can have rehab once he brings that man back to life. Fair is fair.

Why in the world should the parents be jailed? Where does it say they were at fault. I think more info is needed before we say, "jail the parents".....

It wasn't his parents' weapon.

If found guilty.

A bullet in the front of his head to make sure he knows it's coming.
