Shockingly, drunk children babysitting turns out not to be a good idea.

and oh, it isN'T me calling it "mortal kombat", that is what the story writer called it. that pisses me off too; making it sound like it was video game influenced.

my brothers and friends and i horsed around like that too. we called it, horsing around or wrestling or something. while we never karate kicked each other; there was plenty of black eyes and bumps/bruises. course, none of us where drunk either. maybe that is where we went wrong.

Right on point, residentEvil. Blaming this on a video game is just stupid. These kids are maggots, no video game made them do this, rough housing doesn't lead to murder, alcohol won't turn a normal person into a killer. I am willing to bet that there are people in this very forum who play video games, wrestle with their friends and maybe even have a beer once in a while, and have never beaten a little girl to death.

Lock them both up and throw away the key.

The stupid thing is the girl will probably get 1/3 the sentence just because she is a woman.
