Man tracks down kid making fun of him in Black Ops and chokes him out.

[IA]

A 46 year old man from Plymouth in Devon heads over to the house of a 13 year old who was verbally abusing him in Call of Duty, and choked him out in real life.

Rape and/or corporal punishment would have had led to worse mental scars, kinda went easy on the little ****.

He's a better man than most of us.  *salutes*

What a loser. Terrifying to have someone looking like that choking you too. Probably be-nostril-haired and with bloodshot eyes and everything.

So what if some 13-year old kid is being a dickweed at you. It's what they're for. Coincidentally, it's also what Call of Duty games are for.

 

[Pharaoh Llandy]

Kid was clearly an idiot for letting the guy in the house.

A forty six year old man shouldn't be wearing the headset and playing video games with thirteen year olds unless he knows how to control his temper. It's ridiculous to hunt down and physically assault a kid like that because of name calling or whatever that kid said. There is just no legitimate excuse for it besides mental retardation, even being drunk is no excuse because by the time you are forty six you aught to know how to control the drunken version of yourself at least enough to not hunt down and apply a sleeper hold to a thirteen year old (hehehehe this is funny).

Applying a good old fashioned rasslin headlock would have been enough to make the kid cry uncle without causing the poor kid to lose consciousness with a potentially deadly or brain damaging sleeper hold. I can't even imagine trying to defend myself in court after doing something so absurd. What would I say, he was picking on me and it made my cry? The prosecuting attorney would burn me down in a minute just by forcing me to admit that I said, in front of witnesses more then once that sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.

EDIT: I guess I should have read the articles first, apparently this father of three is known to have mental health issues which I have decided is also no good as an excuse. Being crazy ain't good enough to excuse you from this you big bad goof.

 

[Scully]

An hero.

 

[Dodes]

And these are the kind of people that play Call of Duty and evidence of why the community is horrible, 46 year old men that can't control their temper and 13 year old children that think they are 46 year old men that can't control their temper

 

[Sir Saladin]

What a lousy group of game players. No wonder I don't like games like Call of Duty.

 

[Evilknightz]

Ha. I bet it's Tralfaz.

It sounds like the parents should have been keeping a better eye on their kid, since COD:BO is rated "mature". As for the kid himself, he seems to have been an ******* who bit off more than he could chew.

 

[Sir Saladin]

I can't even imagine how I would have felt if some grown man came to the door just to bash my brains in when I was thirteen. I remember being thirteen and I didn't feel like I could fight some crazy old man. He's too big, he's bald and has a beard how did this happen? How can I escape AAAHHH!

 

[TrinityArse]

LOL.

I hope the prick lost his wind and died. Set his place straight.

 

[Kamos32]

While a sad story I always await the day this sort of thing happens and the attacker loses to his opponent again for the ultimate **** you.

 

[Incaa]

Using physical violence to enact vengeance upon a videogame opponent is always stupid.

We all know how annoying some people can be online, especially teenage boys. However I have a guide for CoD players to avoid frustration with these little ****ers.

Option 1.
Try playing hardcore mode, it's harder to dominate someone (& have a chance to gloat) and has a higher adult/kid ratio.

Option 2.
Mute people who are antisocial as soon as possible, they don't have anything interesting to say anyway, you're not going to miss anything.

Option 3.
Don't play CoD:BO, it's the 'cool' thing to do these days. Thus filled with casual assholes.

 

[Mage246]

Sounds like they both had it coming.

 

[K-64]

I thought, with the title it was referring to a different form of choking. 

anyway...

It sounds like the parents should have been keeping a better eye on their kid, since COD:BO is rated "mature"

That doesn't matter at all really. I don't see what all the fuss is about with all these ratings anyway, christ if the reason they're there is because the kids might get "inspired" from what they see in it, then they don't deserve to leave the house anyway for fear of not knowing pavements have a ledge

 

[Leifr Eiríksson]

Kid shouldn't have been playing an 18 rated video game.

Man shouldn't have been throttling the prick, clearly has control problems.



With respect on the situation; the little **** deserved it. As the article mentions, welcome to 2.5 million years worth of evolution. Don't be pissing on the older, larger guy.

 

[FrisianDude]

Older larger guy should be shot for being a such a psychopath menace. :U

umad?

**** that. I've been watching and playing 18 rated movies and games ever since I was able to figure out how the telly works and I turned out juuuuust fine. Sorta.

No but fo realz, It really helped me to develop and interact with people above my age and level.
