If the daughter knocked over his beer, would we go after Budweiser? Just wondering

Thats terrible, someone needs to get out more, hope I never meet the guy, otherwise my friends Mr and Mrs Knuckles will have something to say to him.

Also, no doubt they're gonna blame it on video games.

I don't care what they blame it on. It's incomprehensible, and I hope he gets what's coming to him.

I don't think they'll blame this on games. The crime is too sick. Even Rockstar say they'll never include kids in GTA, so there is no game the media can relate this to.

The guy is 100% to blame, and no-one can possibly question that. I hope he gets what he deserves.

Well said, would've had the same effect.

Here's another one for ye, in Limerick last week, a mother and her two children were visiting a friend, two scumbags knocked on the door and asked for a lift into town, she replied that she wouldnt have space with the two children. So when they got in the car later, she got something out of the storage box, and when she turned around the two backseats with her children were on fire.

Stoning is too fast and lacking in the right amount of pain. Heck all people like him or worse deserve more punishment than they deserve

That's too kind. I hope that an inmate with a daughter gives him a shank to the gut. I know that a lot of inmates don't like child molesters, so hopefully they don't like child killers either.

He'll get off with a temporary insanity plea. Which will of course be pinned on the game. Lets not forget where he committed this crime. With the right lawyer, you can sue anyone and get off for anything.

In a completely unrelated story, all video games, pictures of video games, ideas of video games, and anything else that has anything to do with video games or the like, are being put to a complete stop. Failure to cooperate will result in a lifetime jail sentence... with Mr.BookIzStupid, a.k.a "z".

I vote for castration and ball electrocution. What kind of depraved man can kill his own daughter, and only at 17 months?

Next thing you know he is going to sue the company over the death of his daughter and win over the idea that kids who play videogames perform Columbines. I hate the justice system.

That's not going to happen. It has nothing to do with the video game. He's an adult, and he murdered a child, plain and simple. It could have just as easily have been his TV set knocked over, I bet the same thing would have happened.

However he gets sentenced, he most certainly doesn't deserve a quick easy injection.... Death sentences are lame. We need more fun stuff, that goes under "cruel and unusual punishments for sickos like this".

Another example of someone who I would feel no remorse pulling the trigger on.

all we need are paperclips and string. We attach the paper clips to his body and the string to the paperclips and... you get the picture.

Although I disagree with the death penalty, if he were to get it I wouldn't be outraged. It's his own fault for doing something so disgusting.

To be honest, I'd put him in a regular jail with gangters and thiefs. One with a reputation for being really violent. For what he did, he's going to wish he had got the death penalty.

I don't really agree with punishment to be honest. I don't see any point in torturing a guy like this. It doesn't achieve anything. The same goes for murders, child abusers, rapists, thieves etc. It's totally pointless making them suffer. I just think these people should be perminantly removed from society. I don't care how. Execution, exile, imprisonment. I don't care. All I care about is that these people never interact with innocent people again, and run the risk of ruining another life or hurting someone else. Violent crime should be a life sentence, meaning never returning to society. I'm sick of repeat offenders in the news. Especially in the UK, use a knife on someone and never grace foot on free soil again, cos these people always seem to knife someone else later on.

Ok, no more ranting! Off to develop gamages!

While torture is a bit much, it could work as a detterent, because something thats ends up as less than 10 years in prison due to probation and god knows whatever other rules are there is not a good detterent. What would you fear more, being put in jail for 10 years, or being tortured for the same amount of time?

Best punishment ever!

But seriously, just do to him what he has done. He's much larger than his daughter, so get a man who's much larger than him to punch him.

Maybe-- in N. Korea they'll just execute him publically. Either that or send him to slave labour camps (gulag) to live off rats until he dies. What a great way to spend the rest of your life

Now that's livin'! I'm not exactly sure what the Iranians do that's so aweful, but maybe we should send him to both Whoever won't kill him, send him there first, then pack his bags for the other place second. When he gets to North Korea we should also tell the authorities that he talked smack about Kim Jong Il... because they think he's a god or something (literally... I'm not sure how that works, but according to CNN, they think he's a mortal diety of some sort).

Yes, they've built up the personality cult around him and his father to suggest that he is a deity. Hell, Kim Il-Sung has been dead for 12 years and he's still the top position in their government. That suggests to me a little wackiness

Wow, I didn't know that! lol I guess you can't go down to Hollywood Video or Blockbuster and rent one of his movies, but I'd actually be interested in seeing one. There's a level of comedy there that I'll never be able to grasp More insane dictators should make movies:

"Brokeback Banana Boat" by Fidel Castro, a gripping tale of two men who leave Cuba on a small sea craft headed for Miami... but find something far greater than freedom during their trip

I was trying to think of one for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad but came up short

How about we send him to the prison from Midnight Express. If thats not possible he should be forced to watch Paris Hilton films(the ones where she tries to act not that other movie) for all eternity.
