Death by thrill seeking

Once again, the use of guns have created the needless dead of a teenager:


A teenager has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head after losing a game of Russian roulette on his back porch in Florida.
17-year-old Thorin Montgomery was the first of four friends hold a gun with a single bullet inside it to his head and pull the trigger - but the gamble didn’t pay off and the .38 calibre bullet entered his skull.
The incident occurred at around 7.45pm on Friday night as Thorin spent the night with friends.
It's believed they were playing Russian roulette – where you put a single bullet in a gun's chamber, spin it, then pull the trigger while aiming at your own head – for a thrill.
Well, he just didn't lose the game, he lost his life. Stupidity to the max:

The game originated in Russia and was made famous in the film The Deer Hunter starring Robert de Niro and Christopher Walken.
Although deaths from Russian roulette aren't common, the majority of people killed while playing the game are men aged under 30. 

People, it was a movie. If everybody would take to the skies after seeing Superman, there would be a lot of people dead!!!!

Disgraceful. I just can think of the parents, that they have to not only face up for the loss of their son, but also the stupidity that took him from them.

The mother who killed her son because he interrupted her Farmville game

Well, I stopped playing Cityville and all those games, because they are just time wasters. But some people kill to play them:
Alexandra V. Tobias is awaiting trial after pleading guilty to shaking her 3-month-old son to death… The 22-year-old Jacksonville, Florida resident recently plead[ed] guilty to killing her 3-month-old son over an online game. She admits that Dylan Lee Edmonson had been crying for a while as she played the popular Facebook game Farmville. Alexandra told police that when the infant wouldn’t stop crying, last January, she stepped away from the game long enough to shake the boy, smoke a cigarette and then shake the boy again. The unfit mother suggested that little Dylan “may have hit his head during the shaking.

Addicted people to games that will have no effects after they raise their bumps from their seats.
