And sadly, they (or at least, others like them) could very well get away with it:

I can't stand the fact that little shits like this blame video games... I used to play Mortal Kombat and so did all of my friends, and we never tried to rip each other's spinal columns out... and most judges and jurys beleive it's the game's fault.

"The attackers tried to imitate some fighting techniques used in video games," said the head of the investigation division of Valmiera police department Salvis Stamers. "They employed the use of the legs in a scissor fashion to try to break the opponent's neck," he said.

That was how Sonya killed Kano in the first movie actually.

"It is difficult for me to explain the motivation of this brutal crime," said Rudite Markus, the headmaster of Valmiera high school where Marcis was a pupil.

"You can blame the video games for some influence, and you cannot fail to notice the onslaught of violence on TV screens."

"Videogames could be a catalyst for violent behaviour, alerted by alcohol, but one cannot reduce the real motives of the teen murderers to the influence of video games," said psychologist Zaiga Blaua.

A year ago a pupil, addicted to videogames, killed a video saloon attendant in downtown Riga to get a few lats (dollars) to continue the game, which ended in tragedy.

If proved guilty, the detained boys could get a life sentence or imprisonment up to 20 years.

How about blaming the parrents, and blaming a socetey that makes it so a family can not aford to have one parrent stay at home to watch, and explain things to children?

Oh sure, its the games fault. But I they always seem to forget that the parents are nowhere around. Where are they? Blaming something on pop culture never solve's anything, and is very ignorant.

Its really a parents fault. Parents should take care of their kids better.

I aint never heard about no shit as stupid as this. These kids must have been on dope to fight like this.

There is a reason they put the rated M on the damn game!! You can't blame the game since they said it was only for MATURE people only!

They're probably screwed.

Investigators inspected the territory along the banks of the river, which is partly frozen, where the murder took place, and found empty bottles of alcoholic drinks and samples of blood.

Maybe they were drinking?

I'm more curious as to wether it was a FLAWLESS VICTORY! or not myself

Uhhh... how about blame the dumbass kids instead of someone else? Parents are going to be a huge contributing factor when it comes to breading and teaching these retards, but you can't go so far off on a tangent as to blame someone elses death due to a video game!

There's a string of variables that lead up to each action and I think we can all agree that video games are so far out of sight when it comes to this. The culprit - Stupidity!! Bingo! It's a damn shame..

Why didn't they play two, then they would have just given the kid a signed photo, or some flowers.

every time I hear violence blamed on the media (mainly Mortal Kombat and The Matrix), I find solace in knowing that Alice Cooper nailed the issue right on the head. I think this song ("Wicked Young Man") was written in response to the Columbine mess, but it applies generally as well.

Of all moves to try out, they tried this one? No spears? No trying to decapitate by usage of the tongue? No trying to summon hands from Hell to manhandle your victim? Pussies.

Alice Cooper wrote: 2. Wicked Young Man

Cold blue swastika tattooed on my skin
The ice in my veins the staples in my chin
I've got it carved in my forehead "Slave To My Sin"
Too violent for the brotherhood to ever take me in

Gonna write down my law in blood upon the street
To the cadence of a goose-step heavy metal beat
Wanna purify my race gonna turn up the heat
Just wanna make 'em die and make the job complete

I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I like to run my body on heavy heavy fuel
I can punch through a wall I can kick like a mule
I got a pocketful of bullets and a blueprint of the school
I'm the devil's little soldier I'm the devil's little tool

I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man

I got every kind of chemical pumpin' through my head
I read Mein Kampf daily just to keep my hatred fed
I never ever sleep I just lay in my bed
Dreamin' of the day when everyone is dead

I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man
It's not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig
I'm just a wicked young man
I am a vicious young man oh I am a vicious young man
I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man
