What about when he respawns?

Say what you want about america but they certainly know how to give out jail time - poor kid, if it happened here he'd be let off!

Dudess

No he wouldn't, but yeah, good sentence.

That is shocking. The poor boy

mikemac

Once police discovered how serious the boy's injuries were, they began to push his mother and her boyfriend Rocky Donadio, then a soldier at Fort Sill. The narrative then changed.....

Seems the mother didn't immediately come forward and explain what happened, instead different stories were told.

Maybe she was afraid to speak up.
But if she slowed down the investigation deliberately she should be charged too

Hopefully he is murdered in prison on day 74y364d.

I know, but he wouldn't "get let off" either.

steddyeddy

Im glad he got 75 years but bear in mind he could get out earlier with good behaviour or apeal ect.

The child involved has the life sentence of trying to heal this trauma for the rest of his life.

seanybiker

Jesus that's horrendous. Hopefully your man gets raped repeatedly in prison

Dunno about that. He has basically ruined this kids life. Sounds pretty serious from the outset. Money can be paid back. Organs/mental damage - not so much.

I would honestly say he would be out of prison by 10 years.

It says not eligible for parole before 85% complete

Lol - not THAT shocked by the inhumane, violent treatment so then...

Been following this story and what strikes me is that more often than not videogames get the blame, in spite of the fact that the man is trained by the American government to kill people.

dlofnep

In Ireland - 5 years with 2 years suspended. Out beating up children after 3 years.

If the child is in a permanent situation where he has to be connected to a machine - I'd say 75 years is just. Let the bastard rot in jail.

There may be something to the game connection. I don't play GTA or FPS games so my crime/murder count is still zero. However I play a lot of FIFA and there is now broken windows up and down my street.

Besides why was he even in America? He'd have been better off in the Middle East killing little brown people in order to make the world free.

Hes a dead man walking in jail.

I remember playing "violent" games like Quake, Half Life etc when I was around 9/10 years old. Still, the gore in those said games does not compel me to walk outside and murder people. Honestly, I would probably off myself following an incident like that. Horrific.

Christ. That poor child.

Chuchoter

Jesus Christ thats horrendous. That boys life must be horrible, I can't even fathom living like that. He has no digestive system. If he lives more than a few years, he will never ever leave the hospital again. There really aren't punishments bad enough for that man.

Unbelievable....... they still haven't converted to metric in the States yet.

steddyeddy

in fairness guys the government, gaurds and judges in this country have protected child abusers in the past i havent much confidence that things here have changed.

something like 8 years with the last 2 suspended would be a ''let off''

Hopefully the c*nt will die in prison.

I get what you're saying, but you don't need training to stomp on someones stomach either... You just have to not give a f*ck about them really.

4 years and maybe the final year suspended for remorse (faked) out in 2 would be my guess for ireland.

I hope your not being serious. Video games have feck all to do with this, it's this guys complete lack of self control and vicous temper that have ruined the poor kids life. I've played video games nearly my whole life and while I have had my share of video game induced rages (as had most gamers) it has never even come close to inflicting violence on another person. This guy was a ticking time bomb and it was just this that set him off, gives the media a nice sexy headline about videogames and violence without actually addressing the real issues behind this guys rage and warped mentality. People love a easy answer to questions like this and I fully expect a few pinheaded commentators (not you) to draw a pretty weak conclusion that its all videogames fault and call for them to be banned (yet again).

Now that's what I call a good crack on the arse

pajor

He has to serve 63 years and 9 months before he gets in front of a parole board.

Damn straight

Glenza69

Reading stories like this make me cringe. How can anyone go to such measures in doing this? Hopefully his inmates will hear about what he did, and will return the favour.

I don't know, this guy seems pretty tough, look what he did to the 8 yr old kid, you could only imagine what he'd to an adult!

Two wrongs dont make a right.

What he did cant be condoned in any way but "returning the favour" won't solve anything.

NeedaNewName

How you could do that to your own child is beyond me.

twinQuins

Hang on a second, I recall a thread in AH where a teacher beat a student with a dumbbell and the responses were basically "good on him".

So why isn't there much back-slapping about how this is a great guy?

Because Teachers are infallible, duh:cool:

Jumpy

Because he flipped over a save game file and treated a child as though he would an adult.
The guy doesnt know when to stop and almost killed a kid doing it.
Its not normal and doesnt seem entirely treatable or safe for the public, therefore they placed him out of the publics reach.
A sentence based on the crime. Something that rarely gets done here.

Apart from making alot of people feel better about the world. He should be disemboweled.

There would be if it was directed at a child alright... Nothing special for an adult though. In my eyes he is nothing and god forbid had he hit my son 75 years prison would be the least of his worries...

Beating this particular scumbag to within an inch of his life is not a "wrong". At all.

By all accounts, that kid was a little shit who goaded the teacher until he had a mental breakdown.


The 8 year old just deleted a bit of memory from a game.


I'm not saying the teacher was right, but the cases can't really be compared.
