Man With History of Violence Stabs Uncle
I Know, Let's Blame Video Games!
by Sarah
As if the tragic Mortal Kombat murder of a little girl wasn’t bad enough for the video game industry, the Chattanooga Times is reporting that a 37-year-old man stabbed his uncle in a fight over a video game.
Antonio Castillo, who has been charged with attempted first-degree murder and aggravated assault, is also facing charges for a prior unrelated assault in Philadelphia. His uncle, Luis Alberto Santana, is currently in critical condition, though police report that his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
There’s no word on which game they were actually playing, only that it was a “PlayStation game”. Thanks, could you vague that up a little more? The two of them could have been playing Bust-a-Move 2 for all we know. But of course, the media has chosen to focus on that tiny and irrelevant detail and not the fact the stabber had a history of violence and was clearly unstable. You really have to love the media. Looks like Christmas has come early for Jack Thompson this year!
