Crime Boy on skunk cannabis butchered a grandmother

[The Helper]

A teenager who was crazed by high-strength cannabis butchered a grandmother after 'voices in his head' told him to stab a woman.

Ezekiel Maxwell, a paranoid schizophrenic, launched the horrific attack after years of smoking super-strength 'skunk weed'.

The 17-year-old claimed 'gangster voices' from the ultra-violent computer game Grand Theft Auto had set him on a mission to stab a black woman.

He is the second teenage cannabis addict in a month to be found guilty of killing others after smoking the substance. Thomas Palmer, 18, was jailed for life for murdering his two friends with a hunting knife near their homes in Wokingham, Berkshire.

What I don't understand is after the years of smoking skunk cannabis. Are they saying he has been smoking the same skunk cannabis for years, or has he just been smoking dope for years. I just don't think there is anyway this skunk cannabis was the sole cause for this killing.

Oh god...here we go again...

Paranoid,schizophrenic and on drugs... Yet they still blame a computer game because somebody went crazy. Demonization ftl?

Atleast that takes the pressure of "life ruining" WoW a bit now that it's GTA "fault" somebody died.

Yep, the idiots out there are gunna ignore all the stuff about the cannibis and schizophrenicness and go straight to the single sentence about 'gansta voices from GTA'

Jack Thompson probably had an orgasm after reading that.

...Here we go again...thanks you stupid teenagers for ruining it for the rest of us!

If he watched care bears all day it would be care bear voices telling him to murder. The finger of blame should clearly be pointed at the substance abuse.

Oh great.... I hate this type of comical banter... I could go on and on but the max characters is like 5k or 10k for a post...So...

-If you claim 'Voices' Told you to do it.. your a person that is slightly lacking in everyday intelligence.

-Thanks for ruining 'M' rated games for the people that know the diff between a 'GAME' and reality.

-They are thinking about banning video games because of unenlightened folk like this and by 'they' I mean the people that are worried about us 'Kids' having sex and drinking and doing activities of questionable morality like that.... They wanna bann video games because they think it makes us act out and hurt others.. Kindly disregard that!

Video games don't make us ACT OUT improper parenting,No Commen sence, and other things but NOT video games....

If they really bann video games theres gunna be another world wide war..... The death toll will go up not down.... and I garentee if they did it and tried to take my games they aren't getting them without a fight.

So stop blaming video games for your acts america take the tragically undeserved blame yourself for the actions of dubious character you do!, Can't wait to see what they would say to this post lol,Peace

It seems to me like the article is blaming marijuana as a trigger, rather than any video game. In either case the root cause is of course an untreated mental illness, but let's not go crying wolf for video games without cause.

We know Blarg, but like uberfoob said, as soon as some people see the word "videogame" they tend to ignore other circumstances and go crazy against us.
