What happened to the console war?
18 hours 34 mins ago
On October 26th 2007 Rene Edward Barrios was supposed to watch his 18-day old baby, who was sleeping. When the baby started to cry, interrupting Barrios when he was playing an unknown video game, he hit the baby. Once the baby stopped crying he went back to his game to play more, and once he had finished the level, the baby was blue and unconscious. The baby died in the hospital, and Barrios was arrested right there. He only killed the baby because he interrupted his game, scary stuff.
We love our videogames as much as the next guy but there's a point at which other aspects of life supercede their importance.
Unfortunately Rene Edward Barrios didn't feel this way on Oct. 26, 2007. He was left to watch his girlfriend's 18-day old baby who was sleeping in a bed. Rene was playing an unknown videogame in the next room when the young baby began to cry. Enraged by the noise, Rene paused the game, grabbed the baby, shook him and hit him the head.
With the baby asleep, Barrios return to his game and finished up whatever level he was on for about 10 minutes. When Barrios returned to the bedroom to check on the baby, he was blue and unconscious.

BTW it was NOT his kid....he was living with the mom and kid and was her boyfriend but not the baby's father.
Also, The man pleaded guilty. I believe since he did, He is getting a DP or LS (death penalty or life sentence)
...Glad I don't care about the noises on Video Games, I would of went over to the baby to see if it needed a change or see if it was hungry.
He's so mean, I think he deserved the punishment.
What would HE say?
I'm sorry, but some people just don't deserve to live.
Nah, probally Halo or Gears
Excuse me, I need to take a shower now.
21 years doesn't much, i'd probably give him 50yrs tbh.
