6 killed due to XBox console...

[Gamereviewgod]

I love waking up to this. Breaking news at the top of CNN.com.....

Florida sheriff: At least 3 suspects confess to killing 6 with baseball bats in dispute over Xbox video game console. Details soon.

This was all they had. The media is going to have a field day with this one even though common sense says the killings could have been over any item.

What the hell is a "working-class, bedroom community". If the motives turns out to be over an Xbox, this is the stupitest crime ever commited and will forever ruin the good name of Microsoft. ahh...just a sad day for video games.

Nah, people have killed each other over stuff from car accidents to eating the last piece of pizza, Microsoft has nothing to worry about.

The rest of us, of course, do.

The fact you can hire three teenagers (or any age group) willing to kill in such a brutal manner is chilling. Society reaches new lows on an almost daily basis.

Officials struggling to come up with a motive for the crime believe the killings were committed over the theft of some clothes and an Xbox game system owned by Victorino,"

Cool, I'm assuming that it will soon be illegal to purchase or wear clothes in Florida as well then :P

a guy who works for me got pissed as his brother ate the last piece of bread at thanksgiving dinner some odd years ago. He picked him up and threw him through the front picture window.

He hearly killed his brother from the glass hitting his throat, then beat him with his chair. his brother was still holding onto the bread, but the chair beating made him let go. Then he sat over his brother and ate the bread on the chair he brought out to beat him with. and finished it until the cops came and he got 2 years in jail.

oh yes there was boose involved.

Did they (MS) ever have a good name ........ Just kiddin! :P

They (the media) can use an Xbox as part of the issue, but it could have been a VCR, a TV... etc, etc... that guy was just a crazy bastard, and he knew a few other krazies!! too..

But in saying that, who knows the people they killed, could have been Krazy people as well??

In the end nobody should be murdered, or have there lives endded early and by the hand of another..

But on the Bright side i still have my Gamecube! (Gets my baseball bat ready for any krazies!) Errrrr! (Maybe that was for another post! )

Hey, one of my "friends" several years back was shot in the back of the head for "stealing" a video game. That happened about 20 minutes from my house. The guy said he stole his game, then he put a bullet through his head. Nobody around here ever really got over that.

sigh, another true crime novel for my home county.

deltona is pretty much a suburb of nowhere, like so much of florida away from the beachside... i always figured they got the name from combining daytona with nearby deland...then theres ortona (ormond/daytona). somebody in the 1920s was trying to add a spanish flavor to swampland and figured "tona" sounded good. anyways.

i'm thinking that this wasnt planned as a murder, probably they planned to go over and "kick some ass" and then one of the people fought back...next thing you know its "dont leave any witnesses", bastards even killed the dog.

Well, this WAS in Florida....
