News Stolen Xbox blamed as motive for mass murder

This just beggars belief. From elReg:

The console wars took a horrible turn last week after a missing Xbox was blamed as the motive for a mass murder in Florida.

Four men were charged with first-degree murder after police in Deltona, Florida found the bodies of six people - two women and four men - who were apparently beaten to death with baseball bats. Attempting to explain the slaying, police have offered up no better cause than describing the murders as payback for missing clothes and an Xbox. One man allegedly recruited three others to exact revenge on those believed to be responsible for his stolen items.

Troy Victorino, 27, Robert Cannon, 18, Jerone Hunter, 18, and Michael Salas, 18, were charged.

they supposedly killed because they were robbed.

bloody tabloids going to have a field day with this.

 

xbox is a weapon of mass destruction now? does that mean Bill Gates is a terrorist?

 

This all happened about 6 blocks from my parents house. Needless to say it freaked out most everybody in the city.

This feud had been building for the past few weeks it seems and led to murder. Pretty messed up when something like a stolen x-box is enough to drive somebody to murder. If anyone is interisted you can read more here.

 

what kind of sick **** hits a woman let alone kills her and beats all of her friends to death.their sentance should include the words "throw away the key".

 

I tend to think that Sheirf Johnson has the right idea...let 'em fry. Forget "throw away the key" in this case.

 

no way.leave them to rot in a prison cell for the rest of their lives.no change of getting out ever.

i don't understand why they had to kill those people.they where in the wrong,they squatted in someone else's house.someone else kicks them out.ok you're in the wrong.its like me robbing your car,you kicking my ass for taking it(getting your car back in the process).then me killing you because you took your own property back.

leave it maybe go and ask for the x-box back(maybe althought its no GC)

 

Depends how much your xbox means to you, its a damn good console, id be pissed if someone had mine

 

Or "Dead Man Walking"...

 

I just checked and Dixons still have XBOXes on the shelves! I'm suprised they haven't stopped selling them.

 

sounds like class action law suit

 

Nah, let them burn in hell.

 

I heard Mark Hacking was playing Nintendo before he killed his wife.....Sony is ****tin there pants right now that nothing happens that involes the PS.

 

Lorena Bobbit was inspired by Parappa the Rapper.

We're all doomed.

Sigh...

I'm glad none of that crap doesn't happen over here...

 

aye......do you have any idea what happens to people who do horrible crimes like this in prison(rapist, child molesters,woman killers ect.) "the inmates have a feild day with thier a$$" to qoute my uncle(prison guard)
so yes death would be too good, same goes for that guy who was jus arested for molesting a child in exchance for crack (from florida too i belive )

 

thats what i thought.being inside prison for the rest of their lives(being someones bitch)death would be too good for them.
